U.S. President Donald Trump has indicated that Saudi Arabia might be his first international destination as President, breaking the traditional presidential protocol of visiting the United Kingdom first.

Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump suggested that his decision is driven by Saudi Arabia's past substantial purchases of American merchandise, totaling billions of dollars.

The former President remarked, "If that offer were right, I'd do that again," highlighting economic factors as key considerations in choosing his initial foreign visit.
