Trump To Visit UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar In Three-Country Tour From May 13


(MENAFN- Khaleej Times)

US President Donald Trump will visit the Middle East next month on a three-country tour, his spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday.

"He will travel to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates from May 13 until May 16," Leavitt told a White House press briefing.

Earlier, in March, Trump said his trip to Saudi Arabia would be to seal an agreement to invest upwards of $1 trillion in the US economy, including purchases of military equipment.

He suggested similar agreements would be signed in Qatar and the UAE.

"Tremendous jobs will be created in those two or three days," Trump said. The president did not elaborate on the specifics of the deals.

Other topics likely to be discussed include Russia's three-year-old war in Ukraine and the war in Gaza, one source said.
