President Donald Trump arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, kicking off a high-profile diplomatic visit to the Middle East focused on advancing peace efforts in both the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the war in Gaza.

Trump’s trip comes just one day after the U.S. and China issued a joint statement announcing a 90-day reduction in reciprocal tariffs—an agreement seen as a step toward easing global trade tensions. The announcement was welcomed by investors, with U.S. stock futures rising sharply in response.

During his regional tour, Trump is expected to hold talks with key Gulf leaders and press for progress on ceasefire negotiations in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, where hostilities have intensified in recent weeks. Senior administration officials say the president’s agenda also includes discussions on regional security, energy cooperation, and economic partnerships.
