So in terms of the optics of this visit and what sort of a message it sends out,
00:04
particularly the choice of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as the first stop of the regional tour,
00:09
what message comes out of it and who is that message directed at?
00:13
I mean, I'm wondering, perhaps preempting your answer here,
00:15
I mean, do you think an element of this is to send a message to Iran?
00:20
Well, there's multiple messages being sent.
00:22
One, certainly to the American people that this is important to the Trump administration.
00:29
To the entire world that this is important for America, even to Israel,
00:35
because it should be noted that on this trip, he is not stopping by Jerusalem.
00:41
So in some ways, Israel might feel slightly miffed in some ways.
00:47
But it's an important message also to China and Russia that the U.S. is going to make it a priority
00:55
to have an alliance, if not a very close relationship with Saudi Arabia.
