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.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
