Trump says US to work on Sudan peace deal at request of Saudi crown prince

On Nov. 19, 2025, President Donald Trump said he would work to end Sudan's civil war at Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's request and pledged U.S. cooperation with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and others.
After MBS appealed directly to him, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged Trump to intervene, believing direct pressure could break the stalemate, while Saudi officials linked Sudan’s resolution to Red Sea security.
The conflict has produced staggering casualties: fighting has killed over 40,000 and displaced over 14 million, while the Rapid Support Forces' capture of el-Fasher forced nearly 90,000 to flee.
Trump said within about half an hour that his administration `has already started working on that, OK?` and is engaging the Rapid Support Forces, Sudanese Armed Forces, and coordinating with the Quad to press for a humanitarian truce.
Regional rivalries mean American intelligence alleges the United Arab Emirates sent weapons to the Rapid Support Forces, while the Quad has produced few tangible steps to end the war.
