When President Trump takes his first foreign trip later this month, he'll be making stops in Israel and Saudi Arabia and at the Vatican. Trump's itinerary, confirmed by White House officials, was revealed just a day after Trump promised during a joint press conference Wednesday at the White House with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas that he could help broker a peace deal between Israel and Palestine.
Trump's trip will culminate with the NATO meeting in Brussels on May 25 and at the G7 Summit in Sicily on May 26. Politico noted that a commander-in-chief's first foreign visit is "typically a milestone for a new president."
