Saudi-U.S. Diplomacy: Aligning Forces in a Turbulent Region

Saudi Arabia's foreign minister visits the U.S. to plan President Trump's upcoming trip and discuss regional conflicts. Key discussions include developments in Gaza, Sudan, Yemen, and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The trip precedes Trump's planned visit in May, marked by investment talks in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud arrived in the United States to set the stage for President Donald Trump's anticipated visit to Saudi Arabia, scheduled for later this spring, according to sources.

In meetings with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, discussions focused on the conflicts in Gaza, Sudan, and Yemen, as well as the Russian-Ukrainian tensions, reported the Saudi foreign ministry.

The trip comes amid concerns over global recession risks heightened by Trump's recent tariff measures. During his upcoming visit, Trump aims to strengthen economic ties with signings in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE.
