President Donald Trump is bringing his daughter and son-in-law along on an 11-day trip that will take him to Saudi Arabia, Israel, the West Bank, and the Vatican, according to a report in Politico.
The trip, which begins later this week, is Trump’s first overseas outing as president. Politico reports that he will bring along many of his top White House aides and allies, including Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.
At a press conference Tuesday, National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster laid out the trip’s itinerary, which includes a private dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a wreath-laying at Yad Vashem, a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and, in Saudi Arabia, a speech about Islam.
