Watch: Trump gives remarks at Saudi-led investors conference in Miami

President Trump on Wednesday is attending the Future Investment Initiative Forum, an organization run by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund that focuses on social and economic initiatives.

Trump has had close-knit ties with Saudis, particularly during his time in politics. His first foreign trip during his first term was to the country and it was instrumental in the Abraham Accords in attempting to normalize Arab-Israel relations.

In his second term, Trump has suggested that the kingdom could be the location of a meeting between him and Russian President Vladimir Putin to hash out an end to the war in Ukraine.

U.S.-Russia talks already took place in Riyadh this week when Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman to discuss the futures of both Ukraine and Gaza.

The event is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. EST.
