US President Trump wanted to visit Saudi Arabia on his first trip abroad. But now he has changed his plans after the Pope’s death.
US President Donald Trump wants to travel to Italy to bury Pope Francis. He announced this on the Truth Social online platform. It is the first announced trip abroad in the new term. He was accompanied by his wife Melania, Trump wrote.
The Pope will find his last calm in the Roman Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore, so he recorded it in the will. State guests from all over the world are expected to burial. The head of the Roman Catholic Church died on Easter Monday at the age of 88.
It is now unclear whether Trump will visit other places in the course of his journey to bury the Pope. Just last week, Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni invited him to an official visit. Trump accepted this, she said at a joint meeting in the White House. It is possible for Trump to link Melonis to Melonis directly with his trip to the funeral service.
The first abroad was actually planned for Saudi Arabia
At first Trump had intended to visit Saudi Arabia first. Usually American presidents would visit London after taking office, he said in early March. But he had explained the Saudis if they were ready to invest a trillion US dollar in the United States, then he would come to them.
Saudi Arabia is a long-time partner of the United States, the relationship was cooled during the term of the term of Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden. The murder of the government -critical journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018 strained the relationships for a long time.
Shortly after his re -election – but before the inauguration in January – the Republican traveled in December to reopen the Notre -Dame, which was badly damaged in a fire in a fire. There he met many international counterparts. The appointment was something like his unofficial return to the international stage.
