Donald Trump Lands In Saudi Arabia With Wife For His First 'Big Foreign Trip'

President Donald Trump has landed in Saudi Arabia for his first trip abroad since taking office. He touched down in the Middle Eastern country this morning after tweeting about his excitement for his first 'big foreign trip'.

Trump flew to the capital Riyadh overnight on Air Force One - becoming the only president to make Saudi Arabia, or any majority Muslim country, his first stop overseas as president.

The scheduling choice is designed in part to show respect to the region after months of harsh anti-Muslim campaign rhetoric.

His first overseas speech is expected to frame the global fight against ISIS and other Islamist terror groups as a 'battle between good and evil' - but drafts suggests he will not use the phrase 'radical Islamic terrorism'.

Trump will also call on leaders in the Middle East to 'drive out terrorists from your places of worship'.

The president's stop in Saudi Arabia kicks off an ambitious international debut.
