The White House announced that U.S. President Donald Trump intends to visit Saudi Arabia, with the possibility of later heading to other countries as part of his foreign tour. This anticipated visit is scheduled for next May, as part of important diplomatic moves aimed at strengthening relations with partners in the Gulf region and reshaping political and economic cooperation in the Middle East. Trump expressed his desire to meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in an interview with "Al Arabiya" and "Al Hadath," confirming his intention to work with the Saudi leadership to bring peace to the region amidst the tensions in the regional arena. Earlier, a White House official clarified that the expected talks in Riyadh will focus on vital issues including foreign investments, expanding the strategic partnership, and efforts to end conflicts in the Middle East, placing this visit in the international spotlight due to the significant topics on the table. It is noteworthy that Trump's first phone call after taking office was with the Saudi Crown Prince, a move considered by American circles as a clear indication of Saudi Arabia's longstanding status as a close strategic partner of the U.S. for over eight decades. The two sides discussed ways to enhance bilateral cooperation in political and security fields, particularly in combating terrorism, as well as the importance of joint efforts to achieve stability in the region. In return, Saudi Arabia expressed readiness to expand its investments in the United States over the next four years, with an estimated amount of $600 billion. The Crown Prince expressed optimism that the anticipated economic reforms in the Trump era could open new avenues of prosperity that Riyadh can benefit from within its ambitious development plans.
