Why Trump is focusing on business deals
on his Middle East trip
MAY 10, 2025
Trump pledged to bring peace to the
region as he ran for a second term,
but that is proving to be elusive. On
this trip, he will showcase a promise
by Saudi Arabia to invest $600 billion
in the United States over the next four
years and pledges from the UAE to spend
$1.4 trillion over 10 years.
"The Saudis, the Emiratis and Qataris
are going to fall all over themselves
over who can outdo themselves to
welcome the president," said Steven
Cook, a senior fellow for the Middle
East at the Council on Foreign Relations.
"And then they will outdo themselves over
the number of deals that they can announce
as the president is there."
In many ways, the trip is a replay of
the inaugural foreign trip of Trump's
first term. The Saudis welcomed Trump
with a lavish ceremony and
announcements of billions of dollars
in investments.
"President Trump will return to
reemphasize his continued vision for
a proud, prosperous and successful
Middle East, where the United States
and Middle Eastern nations are in
cooperative relationships and where
extremism is defeated in place of
commerce and cultural exchanges,"
press secretary Karoline Leavitt
told reporters on Friday.

Trump really likes Muslims. He says they're superior to anyone he's met
this side of the Atlantic. Muslims from Arabia are more important to
Trump and white people.
He really gets into the fact that Saudi men can only get it up for
underaged children, specifically white boys.
