Donald Trump will visit Saudi Arabia: US President Donald Trump is planning to go to Saudi Arabia on his first foreign trip after returning to the White House. According to the information received, Trump’s Saudi Yatra is still being planned. A news website reported Trump on Sunday on the planned visit to Saudi Arabia that the Trump administration is trying to restore a ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian Group Hamas in Gaza. The Trump administration is trying to ensure the release of the remaining hostages from Hamas and meanwhile, the President can travel to Saudi Arabia.
Why is Trump going to Saudi Arabia on his first foreign trip?
Talking to the media on 6 March, Trump said, “I will travel to Saudi Arabia in the next one and a half months.” I am going to Saudi Arabia. Normally you should first visit Britain, last time I went to Saudi Arabia. He invested $ 450 billion. ‘
In his second term, he further said about Saudi Arabia’s first foreign trip, “This time I said that I will go only when you give a trillion dollars to American companies.” This means that Saudi Arabia will invest a trillion dollar in the US in four years. They have agreed to do so, so I am going there. ‘
A American officer and a source familiar with the case said, “Trump can visit Saudi Arabia in mid -May.” There will be discussion on foreign investment in Saudi travel, strengthening relations with Gulf countries and ending conflict in the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia’s stature increased due to Trump’s arrival
Saudi Arabia is an important player in the ongoing peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. When Trump started the initiative, he chose Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh for talks with Russia. This has increased the stature of Saudi Arabia internationally internationally.
Russia-Ukraine Peace Plan was discussed between American and Russian representatives in Riyadh itself. The Ukrainian President Zelancesi also reached Saudi Arabia for talks, after which Russia and Ukraine agreed to stop attacking each other’s energy infrastructure for 30 days.
A source familiar with the case said, “Saudi Arabia wanted Trump to visit Saudi Arabia after the ceasefire was implemented between the two countries.”
When President Trump first came to power in 2017, he chose Saudi Arabia for his first foreign trip. And at the same time he also broke the tradition launched by his five predecessors, in which the new US President traveled to neighboring countries.
Prior to Trump, the presidents visited neighboring countries Canada and Mexico. Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George H.W. After being elected to the presidency, Bush made his first foreign trip to Canada. Earlier, George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan went to Mexico on their first foreign trip.
After the end of Trump’s first term, when Biden came to power in 2021, he chose European countries for his first foreign trip and met leaders of NATO (American and European countries).
Trump’s first phone call after the swearing in was to Saudi Crown Prince MBS
US President Donald Trump was sworn in on 20 January. On Thursday, he declared Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as the real ruler of Saudi Arabia. This was Trump’s first phone call with a foreign leader after becoming President for the second time. In this conversation, Trump laid the condition of a visit to Saudi Arabia in exchange for investment, which was accepted by Saudi Arabia and announced an investment of $ 600 billion in the US in four years.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also known as MBS, has a very strong relationship between Donald Trump. In 2018, when MBS was facing criticism worldwide for the assassination of Saudi journalist and columnist Jamal Khashogi of Washington Post, Trump was standing with him. The Biden administration strongly criticized MBS for killing Khashogi and his human rights records and relations between the two countries became tense.
But after Trump returns to power, the relations between the two countries have again improved. Saudi Arabia has also agreed to invest extensively in the US. Regarding the investment, Trump said, “I would ask Crown Prince who is a wonderful person, that you increase your investment in America and increase it to 1 trillion dollars.” I think they will do this because we have very good relations with them. ‘
Trump needs MBS support to balance Iran
It is necessary for the US to control Iran to maintain stability in the Middle East. In this work, America needs Saudi Arabia’s cooperation. As soon as Trump came to power, Iran -backed rebels in Yemen again put the rebels in the list of terrorist groups. They have strictly banned Iranian oil.
Trump wants Saudi Arabia to help them to balance with Iran. Saudi Arabia does not even want Iran to succeed in its nuclear program and once again emerged as a very powerful player in the region. On the other hand, the Trump administration has once again increased the pressure on Iran for a nuclear deal.
