President Donald Trump is set to meet with leaders from the Gulf Cooperation Council countries during the United Nations General Assembly in New York next week. According to three sources familiar with the matter, the talks are expected to focus on potential postwar strategies for the ongoing conflict with Iran. The meeting, which is scheduled for next Tuesday, will bring together representatives from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman.
Sources indicate that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also hopes to meet with Trump during the event, although no specific meeting has been confirmed. Last year, Trump hosted a similar gathering of Arab and Muslim leaders at the UN General Assembly, presenting them with a draft peace plan for Gaza. In the past, a deal to end the war with Iran was reached shortly after such an assembly.
The conflict with Iran has had significant impacts on the Gulf countries, as they have faced Iranian attacks on their military bases, as well as economic losses due to disruptions in oil and natural gas exports.
