Trump’s Middle East trip: 5 things to watch
- President Donald Trump began a multiday trip on Monday to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates in the Middle East.
- The trip follows ongoing talks with Iranian counterparts about nuclear ambitions and comes amid a one and a half-year-old war in Gaza involving Iranian-backed groups.
- Trump seeks to secure increased Saudi investments in the U.S., asking Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to raise his $600 billion pledge to $1 trillion, and may accept a Qatar plane as a Defense Department gift.
- Trump stated he wants Iran to thrive but draws the line at it acquiring nuclear weapons, and press secretary Leavitt called suggestions of personal benefit from the trip "frankly ridiculous."
- The trip highlights economic opportunities for both the U.S. And the Trump family amidst regional conflicts, while the release of the last known American hostage, Edan Alexander, was secured recently.
