Trump's second term will continue the pattern of his first term, with his first visit to the Middle East.
Trump's plan for his first foreign visit in his second term is scheduled for mid-May 2025, with the destination being the Middle East, where he is expected to visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. He plans to sign a cooperation agreement worth over $1 trillion with Saudi Arabia, following the pattern of his first term when he visited Saudi Arabia first.
The Middle East is currently very active, with Saudi Arabia mediating Russian-Ukrainian negotiations and Qatar busy mediating Israeli-Palestinian conflicts. Choosing this place as the first visit location not only highlights the diplomatic focus but also lays the foundation for his second term. The $1 trillion cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia can both boost the U.S. economy and stabilize energy allies, making it a win-win situation.
In his first term, Trump had already laid out plans in the Middle East. Returning to this familiar stage this time, he has precedents to follow and also has a relatively high degree of controllability. He is optimistic about the expectations of his first visit.
