President Donald Trump's first overseas trip of his second term focuses on economic agreements with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. Amidst geopolitical volatility, including ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran and uncertainty in Gaza talks, Trump plans to emphasize his negotiating prowess. He is set to receive a luxury Boeing 747 from Qatar, raising ethical concerns. Strong ties with Gulf monarchies further underline his preference for these economic partners over traditional allies in Europe, positioning Trump favorably for signing lucrative deals during the trip.
His goal is to announce a flurry of primarily economic agreements that will allow him to show off his negotiating skills.
The visit comes at a volatile moment in regional geopolitics as the U.S. seeks to close a nuclear deal with Iran.
