On-point: Trump's first diplomatic trip of 2nd term to largely focus on economic diplomacy

So Trump is Middle East-bound for the first major diplomatic trip of his second term.

Why the Middle East, and what is he looking to come back home with?

Let's turn to professor Kim Dong-soo.

Good morning.

1. Let's start with why the Middle East?

2. Then why Saudi Arabia as the first stop?

3. Some analysts say that Trump's Middle East trip will focus more on economic diplomacy rather than security.

4. Israel is not one of the destinations for Trump's Middle East trip.

5. What is the likelihood of Trump actually going Türkiye to join ceasefire talks between the leaders of Russia and Ukraine?

Thanks so much for your time and your insight.
