Trump is Middle East-bound for his first major international trip of his second term
- This week, President Donald Trump is scheduled to travel to the Middle East, with planned stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, marking his first regional trip during his second term.
- The trip occurs amid escalating tensions in the region, including Israel’s decision to resume hostilities in Gaza following a ceasefire that lasted until two months ago, increasing restrictions on essential goods, and Iran’s progress toward developing nuclear capabilities.
- Trump will focus on economic interests and business deals in the energy-rich Gulf states, which also host Trump-branded developments, while engaging with regional diplomatic challenges.
- On Sunday, Trump announced his willingness to receive a lavish Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet as a gift from Qatar’s ruling family, a decision that sparked criticism, and revealed that the U.S. Would stop striking Iran-aligned Houthi forces who have ceased attacks on American ships.
- The visit could open a window for ceasefire talks in Gaza, though Israel doubts Trump prioritizes its interests, and major progress in Iran nuclear discussions remains uncertain.

Trump has no appetite for a second-term war
Now more than ever, Donald Trump appears to be channeling his inner Lord Palmerston. It was the 19th-century prime minister, after all, who went down in the history books for his declaration that England had no permanent enemies or allies.
