Why doesn't it surprise me that Trump is going to visit Saudi Arabia first?  Roll Eyes
I is also not surprising. If we assume that Trump is really not cooperating with Putin, it is logical to negotiate with Saudi Arabia to derail global oil prices. This will ruin Russia and she is not strong enough to hold their positions in Syria.

Well that one is a bit of a surprise its usually the US Presidents first official visit switches between Mexico and Canada usually.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the presidents of both Mexico (Enrique Peña Nieto) and Canada (Justin Trudeau) hate Trump. Also, Saudi Arabia is one of the most powerful allies of the United States. They deserves better recognition from the POTUS.

Well one was pissed because of a Expletive Wall the other due to the perennial soft wood dispute since it's not hard enough to satisfy both parties Tongue

Your right though it just seems like it's a forced habit in modern US state visits. I think though that it is the first Middle Eastern the list of Presidential first visits wiki says islands in the pacific, other European countries, Asia, Latin America but not the Middle East so Trump gets a first.

President Donald Trump will travel to Saudi Arabia, followed by Israel and the Vatican, in his first foreign trip later this month. The Vatican visit will include a meeting with the Pope, according to a senior administration official.

But Trump seems to have chosen Saudi Arabia this one will get a bit of press for his religious peace tour instead of a standard route.

He-He Washington Post comments
(You know, after this trip, he will be THE MOST SPIRITUAL AND TOLERANT PRESIDENT EVER! A whiff of his fart will bring peace across 4 continents.)
