US President Donald Trump announced that he would soon visit Qatar, Sae and Saudi Arabia. “It could be next month, maybe a little later,” he said in an interview about probable data.
The announcement was made when signing the executive orders in the oval office.
This would be Trump’s first foreign trip from entering the office for the second time.
Why did Trump choose these countries for his first trip?
The comment came after Axios announced that White House officials planned Trump’s first trip to Saudi Arabia in mid -May as a signal of recognition for the country’s planned investment in the US industry.
On Monday, Trump noted that he visited Saudi Arabia after a $ 450 billion in US investment during his first term. And recently, Riyadh committed himself to investing nearly $ 1 trillion in US companies.
“I’m going to Saudi Arabia. You would normally go to the UK first. Last time I went to Saudi Arabia. They put $ 450 billion,” Trump said.
“I consider it a job more than anything else and we are now close to trillion dollars,” Trump said. “So it’s more than twice the number we made when I first came to the office.”
Axios reported. US and Saudi officials recently discussed a potential trip, including war interviews in Ukraine in Saudi Arabia. Initially suggested 28 April as a probable date for visit but later postponed
Why does the trip matter?
Trump’s decision to go to Saudi Arabia on his first foreign trip signals how close the relationship between Trump’s administration and the Gulf countries became, especially in terms of economic cooperation and investment, Axios also said.
Furthermore, the road is significant, because it comes at a time when the Trump administration is trying to restore the gazette ceasefire and ensure further hostages.
American and Israeli officials say that plans to stand on the normalization of Israel-Saudi are suspended. Saudi Arabia wants a clear timeline for the Palestinian state, but Israel refuses.
Is the Russian-Kraiane conflict on the agenda?
In particular, Trump did not mention the Saudi role in organizing negotiations on a possible summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the war with Ukraine. The US President has previously indicated that the couple can conduct interviews there, but in recent days he expressed frustration.
At the beginning of Monday, Trump said he remained convinced that Putin would eventually return an agreement on the ceasefire.
Saudi Arabia is actively involved in the help of the US to convey a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in the Three Years War.
