Trump plans to visit Saudi Arabia in May: media

Los Angeles, Mar 30 (UNI) US President Donald Trump plans to visit Saudi Arabia in mid-May for the first foreign trip of his second term, US media reported on Sunday.
The potential trip was discussed in recent weeks between senior US 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 US officials and a source with knowledge of the plans.
Preparations for the trip are underway, said the report.
"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.
Trump's first foreign trip in his initial presidential term was also to Saudi Arabia.
