Saudi Arabia Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal Bin Farhan al-Saud, arrived in Washington on Tuesday, April 8, for an official visit to the coordination of the expected journey of US President Donald Trump to the kingdom this spring.
The visit comes in times of increased geopolitical tension and economic uncertainty after the latest tariff tariffs of the American administration.
Focus on Gaz and Yemen
During the meeting with higher American officials, Prince Faisal is expected to raise the problem of Gaza and the ongoing conflict in Yemen.
The report noted that the visit was scheduled before the White House’s tariffs were announced last week.
Trump’s first foreign journey of the second term of office
President Trump plans to visit Saudi Arabia in May with other stops in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The visit is expected to include the signing of a large investment agreement between the US and Saudi Arabia.
Similarly, Trump began his first term of visits to Saudi Arabia and Israel in 2017.
Gaza’s design sparks outrage
The visit is watching Trump’s controversial comments on Gaz at the beginning of this week, when he met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the White House.
Trump hung a proposal for the US to take control of Gaza – an idea that brought extended international convicts, including Saudi Arabia.
Trump said on Monday, “I would like the war in Gaza to stop. I think it could happen relatively early.”
The Yemeni crisis and the safety of the Red Sea
It is also expected that interviews will include a conflict in Yemen, where the US has intensified air strikes against the Iranian militants in recent weeks.
Houthis focused on transport lanes in the Red Sea, which has caused what is now the largest US military operation in the Middle East since Trump began his second term in January.
