Trump begins Gulf region visit, eyes economic deals

Estimated read time 1 min read

Donald Trump kickstarted his visit to the Gulf region on May 13th, arriving in Saudi Arabia, as the US president looks to strike major economic deals, France 24 via Reuters reported.

Trump’s arrival in Saudi Arabia forms part of a four-day trip to the region, in which regional security issues such as the Gaza conflict will reportedly take less of a precedence than the economic deals he is seeking.

But Trump’s son, Eric Trump, who is vice president of the Trump Organisation, appears to think differently. When discussing the trip, he said: “The era of peace will return, and the commander-in-chief of the US armed forces will be in Washington to help safeguard the Gulf’s security and stand by its people,” Al Jazeera reported on May 13th.
