LAHORE (Web Desk) – US President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he is likely to visit Saudi Arabia within the next month and a half.

He explained that during that visit, he made a deal: "I said I’d go if they agreed to spend $1 trillion on American companies over a four-year period, and they’ve agreed to that, so I’ll be going."
