Trump plans Saudi investment conference appearance in Miami

President Donald Trump is set to attend the Future Investment Initiative conference in Miami next week, organized by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, amidst ongoing tensions regarding his controversial proposal to transfer U.S. ownership of Gaza. Trump maintains friendly relations with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and has expressed optimism about a forthcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, potentially in Saudi Arabia, to discuss peace in Ukraine. Trump announced that he and Putin have agreed to initiate peace talks, although concerns persist over Ukraine's absence from direct negotiations. His participation at the Miami summit follows Crown Prince Mohammed's commitment to invest $600 billion in the U.S., which Trump has suggested could increase to $1 trillion. The Gaza proposal has drawn condemnation from several Arab nations, emphasizing the need for any reconstruction efforts to consider the existing Palestinian population. The details of Trump's upcoming discussions with Putin remain unclear, with both leaders expressing a desire to work closely together on the conflict.
