Trump Eyes Gulf Billions Amid Economic Slump. US President Donald Trump is heading to the Gulf this week, aiming to secure major investments to boost the struggling American economy. He’ll arrive in Riyadh on May 13 to meet Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman then join Gulf leaders for a summit on May 14 before visiting Qatar and the UAE. This trip underscores the region’s economic importance, especially as Saudi Arabia was meant to be his first foreign stop of his second term plans later changed due to Pope Francis's funeral. Notably, it was also the first destination of his initial presidency, breaking tradition by skipping closer allies like the UK or Canada. Trump’s key goal? Attract funding from Gulf sovereign wealth funds to prove that his "America First" agenda is working even as US growth slows and his trade tariffs spark global uncertainty.
