President Trump to visit Middle East next week
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - President Donald Trump is set to take the world stage next week as he visits the Middle East for the first time in his second term.
He heads to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates as he looks to strengthen ties between the U.S. and the three key Middle Eastern nations.
Set to leave Tuesday night, Trump’s trip comes amid instability both in the region and around the globe, which includes the war in Gaza and ongoing fighting in Yemen.
“Eight years ago, President Trump’s first trip was to this same region of the world where he introduced his bold peace-through-strength foreign policy strategy. On that trip, the president laid out his goal of eradicating terrorism and extremism in the region, which he successfully accomplished over the course of his istration with the total defeat of ISIS and the historic g of the Abraham Accords,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Friday.
Other potential discussion topics include oil, semiconductor production and trade.
This is Trump’s second foreign trip of his second term. He visited the Vatican to attend Pope Francis’s funeral April 26.
