Reference Message Network reported on May 13 that according to a report from the Russian Satellite News Agency on May 13, Axios News Website quoted US and Arab officials as saying that US President Trump plans to sign agreements worth a total of 1 trillion US dollars during his visit to an Arab country this week.
The report said that Trump plans to start his first visit since the beginning of his second term as president on May 12. He plans to visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE and attend the summit between US and Gulf Cooperation Council leaders.
The message stated: "On May 12, Trump will set off for Persian Gulf countries with the aim of signing transaction and investment agreements worth a total of 1 trillion US dollars. This visit by Trump to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE is almost entirely focused on financial issues, with geopolitical issues being secondary. Although Trump has clearly stated that he hopes to reach an agreement for the normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, the president and his advisors know that, given the ongoing Gaza War, this possibility is small."
Axios News Website said that the agreements to be signed in Saudi Arabia will include at least 1000 billion US dollars in arms sales contracts, as well as large-scale transactions in the energy and mineral resources sectors. In addition, the website cited a source as saying that Qatar is expected to announce transactions and investments totaling between 200 billion and 300 billion US dollars, including a major civil aircraft deal with Boeing and a contract worth 2 billion US dollars for the purchase of MQ-9 Reaper drones made in the USA.
