This three-country tour marks President Trump’s second foreign trip since assuming office for the second time. Just days before this journey, he announced his plans to visit Italy for Pope Francis’ funeral.
According to Leavitt, the primary objective of this trip is to further strengthen ties with these crucial Middle Eastern allies. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates have been actively supporting the Trump administration in various diplomatic endeavors, including facilitating ceasefire negotiations in conflict zones like Ukraine and Gaza.
Leavitt emphasized that the President will engage in numerous bilateral meetings and discussions during his visit, underscoring the importance of this diplomatic mission.
