President Trump is planning to travel to Saudi Arabia in mid-May on his first foreign trip since returning to the White House, two U.S. officials and a source with knowledge of the president's travel said.

Axios reports that Trump’s potential visit to Saudi Arabia, his first foreign trip of his second term, could signal strengthened ties with Gulf nations and progress on the Abraham Accords and Middle East peace efforts.

Saudi Arabia’s mediation of high-stakes negotiations promises to revive a relationship the president and crown prince cultivated during Trump’s first term.
