Trump embarks on a journey to the Middle East to meet Gulf allies | Donald Trump

Donald Trump will make his first foreign trip this week on his second government trip to the Middle East as he hopes to get investment, trade and technology deals from friendly leaders, including turbulent negotiations on conflicts in numerous regions including Israel’s war in Gaza, Gaza, and in deep pockets.

The trip from the Middle East was largely a repetition of his first international trip in 2017, when he was a deal leader eager to win quickly and be able to support the economic and geopolitical interests of the regional monarchy.

His negotiations in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates will focus on many topics, including oil and trade, investment transactions, regional conflicts in Israel-Gaza and Yemen, as well as negotiations on Iran's nuclear program, among other issues.

But Trump's main goal is to come out of the region and put the United States first, observers say.

“I think he obviously wants to get rid of this, it’s a deal, announcing a multi-billion dollar deal,” said Steven, senior fellow at the Foreign Relations Council on Middle East and Africa Studies.

“The president’s attitude toward foreign policy is severely affected by… his version of economic Scraft, a wealthy country that uses the Gulf and its vast sovereign wealth fund as a source of investment in the United States,” he said.

Trump has announced Saudi Arabia's commitment to investing $100 million in the U.S. economy and hopes to get big investments during Monday's visit. That would be consistent with his first policy of prioritizing domestic interests in the United States.

These countries may also seek opportunities to obtain high-level U.S. semiconductor exports, while Saudi Arabia will hope to reach an agreement on civilian nuclear infrastructure, which is related to the normalization of its relations with the country and Israel before. In a situation that runs contrary to previous policies, the Trump administration said the two issues are no longer related.

The trip to the Middle East is a striking thing about the lack of plans for the US president to visit Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet have gradually articulated plans for a larger invasion of Gaza and expelled the Palestinian population there, and called it a widespread plan for ethnic cleansing, as critics called it.

Saudi Arabia said that the Israeli-Gaza war will shine in negotiations unless there is a clear path to a two-state solution, which will not normalize relations with Israel, and many countries in the Middle East oppose Trump's proposal to expel the Pasanians from the Gaza region and Gaza to other Arab countries.

“He could have gone to Israel like he did last time,” said Elliot Abrams, former national security adviser to President George W. Bush, a senior fellow at the Foreign Relations Council. He added that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth canceled his planned trip to Israel. "I think there's some tension here... (Israel) knows that Trump spends a week every day at the Gulf hearings, Gaza, Gaza, Gaza, Gaza. So, this is not the best moment in the U.S.-Israel or Trump-Israel relations."

Washington and Israel are increasingly aware of Trump's step from trying to mediate the Gaza war. His administration said they would negotiate a new aid agreement without the Israeli government's direct involvement in delivering aid to Gaza, which suffered the worst humanitarian crisis since the ceasefire in March.

“He is the only one who speaks the same language as Netanyahu, and he is the only one who can talk to Netanyahu in a language that Netanyahu understands,” said Ami Ayalon, former director of the Israel Security Agency (Israel Security Agency).

"In terms of our relationship with Palestinians, Trump has become a hostage again and has become the center of everything in the Middle East," he said.

This focused Trump on what he could accomplish.

He said he planned to decide on his trip to Saudi Arabia, announcing that the United States could mention the Arab Gulf or the Arab Gulf instead of the Persian Gulf.

This angered Iran, when the Gulf countries showed largely the efforts to negotiate future negotiations on Iran's nuclear program. Gulf states have largely supported the U.S. and Iran’s renegotiation speech on nuclear plans compared to 2017, but these governments are said to have not yet known the details of any deals so far.

“Our partners revealed to me that we have our statements on all of these issues, but they have not seen our policies yet,” said Jon Alterman, director of the Middle East Programs at ThinkTank CSIS. “The U.S. government will not make a sound, and its actions remain inconsistent.”

CNN reported that in Saudi Arabia, Trump has invited his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to focus on the pre-trip discussion. Kushner, Trump's envoy to the region during his first administration, was said to be a task of making progress in discussions about Saudi Arabia's accession to the Abraham agreement. However, given his family's commercial interests in the region, his role was also contaminated by perceived conflicts of interest.

However, due to such a complex manifestation of the region's economic and geopolitical interests, there are questions about whether the Trump administration has a focus and team to adopt a comprehensive policy in the region. Many on Trump’s track say that U.S. policy should prioritize lower, and focus on China and the Indo-Pacific.

“I think the feeling of having these works is that the president is negotiating and not responding, and his priorities are actually the focus of the country, a deal to ensure investment in the estate,” Cook said. “Regionally, the president wants these issues to go away, which is why he has these compressed schedules.”
