The United States’ secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo started his follow up visit to Israel, Sudan, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates on Sunday. In his visit from August 23-28 he will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem to discuss regional security issues related to Iran’s influence, establishing and deepening Israel’s relationships in the region, as well as cooperation in protecting the U.S. and Israeli economies from malign investors.
In Sudan, the Secretary will meet with Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and Sovereign Council Chair General Abdel Fattah el-Burhan to discuss continued U.S. support for the civilian-led transitional government and express support for deepening the Sudan-Israel relationship. The Secretary will then travel to Manama to meet with Crown Prince of Bahrain Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa. The U.S. commitment to peace, security, and stability in Israel, Sudan, and among Gulf countries has never been stronger than under President Trump’s leadership.
