U.S. President Donald Trump is gearing up for his first international trip of his second term—and guess where he’s heading? Saudi Arabia, according to U.S. media reports. 🌍✈️ The trip, rumored for mid-May, is already sparking intrigue among global policy watchers.
Citing anonymous officials, news outlet Axios revealed that high-level talks between U.S. and Saudi authorities have quietly unfolded in recent weeks, including during discussions on the Ukraine crisis in Riyadh. While details remain under wraps, preparations are reportedly in full swing.
A White House official hinted the visit will focus on foreign investments, bolstering Gulf alliances, and tackling Middle East conflicts. If this sounds familiar, it’s because Trump also chose Saudi Arabia for his maiden presidential trip back in 2017—now a potential sequel in 2024. 🤝
The timing is noteworthy: earlier this month, U.S. delegates held separate talks with Ukrainian and Russian representatives in Riyadh. Could Trump’s visit build on these maneuvers? Stay tuned. 📅
