US EditionTrump is Middle East-bound for his first major international trip of his second term
- President Donald Trump begins his initial significant overseas visit of his second presidential term on May 12, 2025, traveling to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, while notably excluding Israel from his itinerary.
- The trip follows rising tensions after Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attacks and ongoing Iran nuclear negotiations that unsettle regional alliances and threaten stability.
- Trump seeks to strengthen economic agreements with Gulf states while also pushing for hostages' release, ceasefire efforts, and addressing Iran’s nuclear program.
- Trump announced acceptance of a luxury Boeing 747-8 gifted by Qatar for presidential use, while crude oil prices remain low at just over $60 a barrel amid global uncertainty.
- The trip could influence ceasefire progress in Gaza and Iran talks, though uncertainty persists about Trump’s reliability, regional concessions, and the lasting impact of his 2017 Middle East policies.
