US President Donald Trump left for Saudi Arabia Monday, on what he called a "historic" tour of the Middle East that will mix urgent diplomacy on Gaza and Iran with huge business deals.

Air Force One took off from Joint Base Andrews near Washington for a journey that will include visits to Qatar and the United Arab Emirates -- and possibly talks on the Ukraine war in Turkey.
