Saudi Arabia will organize a Gulf-US summit in mid-May, part of the first visit by American president Donald Trump in Saudi Arabia during his second term. This follows the summit held on May 21, 2017, during Trump’s first term.
The summit, organized by Saudi Arabia in its capital, Riyadh, was preceded by many forecasts for the announcement that President Donald Trump called, describing it as a “very important announcement” during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the White House on Tuesday, May 6.
In addition to what US President Donald Trump intends to announce, the Summit agenda and the agreements and agreements that should take place have become the discourse of the city, ranging from security and military agreements to technological and artificial intelligence agreements.
All Gulf leaders should participate in the Gulf-US summit, with the exception of King Salman Bin Abdulaziz, who has not participated in public events or meetings for a long time because of his health problems.
Will Donald Trump recognize a Palestinian state?
A diplomatic source of the Gulf, which refused to be appointed or to disclose its position, told the media line: “President Donald Trump will publish a statement concerning the state of Palestine and the American recognition of the latter, and that there will be the creation of a Palestinian state without the presence of Hamas.”
The source has also added: “If an announcement of American recognition of the state of Palestine is made, it will be the most important declaration which will modify the balance of powers in the Middle East, and other countries will join the Abraham agreements.”
The source has confirmed that economic agreements will certainly be present, but many of them have already been announced, and we can see that the Gulf States are exempt from prices.
Ahmed al-Ibrahim, a former Gulf diplomat, told the media line: “I do not expect it to be Palestine. Egyptian president Abdel Fattah El-Sissi and King Abdullah II of Jordan were not invited.
Al-Ibrahim also said: “There will be major offers to come, perhaps similar to what happened at the 2017 Gulf-US summit, with Saudi offers worth more than $ 400 billion. Let’s not forget that water announced investments in the United States worth more than $ 1 billion, and Saudi Arabia of $ 600 billion. “
He continued: “This is clear because President Donald Trump intends to visit water and Qatar after concluding his visit to Saudi Arabia. These are two significant economies with significant financial resources and major investments in the United States.”
Ahmed Boushouki, a Saudi political analyst, told the media line: “These are great economic offers that will take place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Perhaps US President Donald Trump alluded to this when he said to the American people to” buy actions now, before his big announcement in the next two days. “”
Regarding the news of peaceful American-Saudi nuclear cooperation to produce electricity in Saudi Arabia, Boushouki said: “Saudi Arabia has announced a program since 2010, and it has been discussed several times before. International companies are now working to implement these projects in Saudi Arabia.”
Plans are currently underway in Saudi Arabia to build the first nuclear reactor in the kingdom, with several international companies in competition to design and build the reactor. Meanwhile, the country of the neighboring Gulf, the United Arab Emirates, already has the Barakah reactor and is the only Arab country with a nuclear power plant with four reactors, in collaboration with a Korean company.
