Trump said during his trip to Saudi Arabia he wants the Gulf kingdom to join the Abraham Accords and normalize diplomatic relations with Israel.

President Donald Trump, speaking to Gulf leaders at the Gulf Cooperation Council, said he wanted to make a deal with Iran and called for adding more countries to the Abraham Accords.

Saudi Arabia and Turkey's leaders played a key role in convincing Trump to lift sanctions on Syria and meet with al-Sharaa.

Amazon, Google, and Nvidia are among those who struck deals during Trump's visit to the Middle East, his first major overseas trip of his second term.

He admired the marble in the Qatari palace as “perfecto” and “very hard to buy.” He praised the “gleaming marvels” of the skyline in Saudi Arabia. And he groused about the “much smaller” and “much less impressive” plane that is Air Force One.

WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump, whose family has major business interests in the Gulf countries he is visiting this week, said there was no talk of building a Trump Tower in Syria or golf during his meetings in Saudi Arabia that ended on Wednesday.

Although Trump recently attended the funeral of Pope Francis in Rome, Saudi Arabia was originally intended to be his initial overseas destination, just like in his first term. It served as a gilded debut for a foreign policy focused on securing cash infusions for American businesses.
