U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to meet with Gulf leaders next Tuesday on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York to discuss the next steps in the war with Iran, according to Axios, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The meeting is expected to focus on U.S. proposals for a postwar strategy as the Trump administration works on a broader plan for the period following the conflict. Leaders or foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman are expected to attend, while the meeting could also be expanded to include other Arab and Muslim leaders.
Trump said on Wednesday that he hoped the war with Iran was nearing an end and reiterated that Iran wanted to reach a deal. The White House and State Department have not publicly commented on the reported meeting.
