US President Donald Trump will visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates from May 13 to 16, the White House announces.

The itinerary does not include a stop in Israel, but Trump has said that it’s possible other stops could be added.

It will be his first trip to the region in his second term.

Saudi Arabia was originally supposed to be his first abroad destination upon returning to the White House, but Trump announced yesterday that he will be attending Pope Francis’s funeral in Rome at the end of the week.
