Trump: US helping end Sudan war per Arab leaders.
“Arab leaders from all over the world, especially the very respected Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, who recently left the United States, have asked me to use the power and influence of the presidency to immediately stop what is happening in Sudan,” Donald Trump wrote in a message on social media.
The US president also announced at the US-Saudi Investment Forum, after meeting with Mohammed bin Salman at the White House, that he would work to end the war in Sudan.
Trump added at the gathering, which was attended by the Saudi Crown Prince and his accompanying delegation, that his administration had begun working to resolve the Sudanese war half an hour after bin Salman made his request at a meeting on Tuesday.
Referring to Sudan, the US president said: “He [bin Salman] said, ‘You talk about a lot of wars, but there is a place on earth called Sudan, and what is happening there is terrible.'”
He also added in a message on the social network Truth Social that the United States will work with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and other Middle Eastern countries to end the violence in the region and stabilize the situation in Sudan.
Trump wrote: “There are so many atrocities happening in Sudan. This country has become the most violent place on earth, and also the largest humanitarian crisis. Food, doctors, and everything else are desperately needed.”
Reuters reported, citing five sources familiar with the matter, that the Saudi crown prince believes that direct pressure from Trump is necessary to break the deadlock in talks to end the more than 2-1/2-year war in Sudan, and pointed to his efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza last month.
