Trump is set to make an important announcement during his visit to Saudi Arabia.

U.S. President Donald Trump plans to rename the region known internationally as the Persian Gulf to 'Arab Gulf'. This change is in response to long-standing requests from Arab countries in the region.

This name change has faced backlash from Iran. The Iranian public associates the name 'Persian Gulf' with their ancient Persian Empire heritage.

This visit marks Trump's first international trip since taking office, aiming to deepen economic and political ties with Gulf countries.

Previously, Trump had ordered the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to 'American Gulf', which sparked international debate.
