 IRAQ ON TRUMP’S AGENDA DURING HIS MIDDLE EAST TOUR

/ US President Donald Trump is embarking on a tour of the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. This visit is described as crucial given the profound changes taking place in the region .

The Saudi capital, Riyadh, is hosting the summit that will bring together Trump and the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries .

According to the White House, the visit’s agenda will focus on enhancing investment and security cooperation, in addition to discussing hot regional issues. Specific agreements are expected to be signed, establishing a new phase of strategic partnership between the United States and the Gulf states .

The changes include events in Gaza, Lebanon, and regime change in Syria, in addition to relations between Iran and the United States, and Israeli attacks .

Regarding the situation in Iraq, despite the entry of pro-Iranian factions into the conflict, US pressure has forced these factions to surrender their weapons to the state, with Tehran’s blessing, according to media reports .

Trump’s upcoming visit is an opportunity to redefine America’s role in the region and define Washington’s interests in light of a new reality characterized by shifting alliances and balances of power .

Amidst the Gaza conflict and the changing maps of Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq, Trump is visiting the region carrying a new vision for American engagement in the Middle East .
