Trump to Visit Saudi Arabia in Mid-May for First Foreign Trip of Second Term

The visit will focus on securing a $1 trillion Saudi investment, strengthening ties with Gulf nations, and addressing unresolved global conflicts.

President Donald Trump has confirmed plans to travel to Saudi Arabia in mid-May, marking his first foreign trip since returning to office.
The visit aims to finalize Saudi Arabia's $1 trillion investment commitment in the U.S., following earlier pledges of $600 billion in January 2025.
Saudi Arabia has been mediating Russia-Ukraine ceasefire talks, and the trip's timing is reportedly contingent on progress in these negotiations.
The agenda includes discussions on economic cooperation, Gulf relations, and efforts to address conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine.
This visit mirrors Trump's first-term foreign policy approach, with Saudi Arabia also being his first international destination in 2017.
