Trump starts Gulf visit seeking big economic deals

  • 2025-05-13 12:37:33
U.S. President Donald Trump will arrive in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday morning to kick off a four-day swing through the Gulf region, a trip that will focus more on economic deals than on the security crises besetting the region, from the war in Gaza to the threat of escalation over Iran's nuclear program.
 
With a who's who of powerful American business leaders in tow, including Tesla CEO and Trump adviser Elon Musk, Trump will first visit Riyadh - where the Saudi-US Investment Forum is taking place - and continue to Qatar on Wednesday and the United Arab Emirates on Thursday.
