Donald Trump opened his first foreign trip as president in Saudi Arabia on Saturday. With delicate diplomatic meetings facing him, including three summits, Trump faces the challenge of advancing his 'America First' agenda without alienating key allies. Stepping off Air Force One in sweltering heat with his wife, Melania, Trump and his entourage received a red-carpet welcome from Saudi King Salman.


Trump will deliver a speech in Riyadh on Sunday aimed at rallying people in the fight against militants. He will also attend a summit of Gulf leaders of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council. Reuters
