Live updates: Trump travels to Saudi Arabia to kick off first major foreign trip

President Donald Trump arrived in Saudi Arabia today to begin his first major international trip of his second term. Follow along for live updates.
The Trump administration imposed tariffs on Saudi Arabia in response to the country's alleged involvement in the oil price war, which significantly impacted the U.S. energy sector. These tariffs, effective from May 13, 2025, target a range of Saudi goods, including steel, aluminum, and various manufactured products. The move aims to pressure Saudi Arabia into reducing oil production and stabilizing global oil prices. The decision has sparked a range of reactions, with some U.S. lawmakers and industry leaders supporting the tariffs as a necessary measure to protect American interests, while others express concerns about potential retaliatory actions from Saudi Arabia and the broader implications for U.S.-Saudi relations. Live updates on the situation continue to provide insights into the ongoing developments and reactions from both domestic and international stakeholders.
