US President Trump arrives in Saudi Arabia for 4-day Middle East tour

Riyadh: US President Donald Trump arrived in the Saudi capital Riyadh at the start of a four-day trip to the Middle East, where he will meet with Saudi Crown Prince and de facto ruler Mohammed bin Salman.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman welcomed US President Donald Trump at the airport and offered him a traditional coffee on the occasion.

According to a report by the American newspaper Washington Post, President Trump arrived in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Tuesday morning, which is the first stop on his four-day trip. He will also visit Qatar and the United Arab Emirates during this trip.

This is Trump's first major foreign trip since returning to the White House, most of which will focus on trade deals and new investment efforts with the oil-rich region.

The visit comes at a time when the president is facing security concerns, which have been expressed by current and former US military, defense, and intelligence officials. These concerns are being raised over Qatar's offer to give the US a luxury plane as a gift, which will reportedly be for President Trump's use.

According to US media, talks between US President Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman are expected during the visit, in which US efforts to end Iran's nuclear program, ending the Gaza war, controlling oil prices, and other important issues will be discussed.
