US EditionTrump is Middle East-bound for his first major international trip of his second term
- This week, President Donald Trump will embark on his first significant trip to the Middle East during his second term, with scheduled stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.

- The trip may affect efforts toward a ceasefire in Gaza, U.S.-Houthi dealings, and stalled Iran nuclear talks, with outcomes influencing regional stability and U.S. Strategic ties.
