Trump plans to visit Saudi Arabia in May, U.S. media reports

U.S. President Donald Trump plans to visit Saudi Arabia in mid-May for the first foreign trip of his second term, U.S. media reported on Sunday.

The potential trip was discussed in recent weeks between senior U.S. officials and their Saudi Arabian counterparts, including on the sidelines of the talks about the Ukraine crisis in Saudi Arabia, reported news website Axios, citing U.S. officials and a source with knowledge of the plans. "Talks will focus on discussing foreign investments, strengthening relationships with Gulf nations and ending conflict in the Middle East," a White House official was quoted as saying.

Earlier this month, a U.S. delegation held separate technical-level talks with Ukrainian and Russian delegations in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
