President Trump has embarked on his first foreign trip as commander in chief. His nine-day schedule will see him visit Saudi Arabia, Israel, Vatican City, Belgium, and Italy. Follow this post for updates throughout the trip.
Not long after Trump took off Friday, it was reported that the Russia investigation has identified a person of interest inside the White House. It was also reported that Trump told Russian diplomats visiting the Oval Office had taken pressure off himself by firing FBI Director James Comey.
An avowed homebody, Trump is the first president since Jimmy Carter not to travel overseas during the first 100 days of his administration. He's being joined on the trip by the first lady.
His schedule will include meetings with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Kuwait, Israel, Italy, and Belgium, as well as Pope Francis. He'll also attend summits for the G-7 and NATO, the military alliance which he has been highly critical of in the past.
On Sunday, he will deliver a high-stakes speech on Islam in Riyadh.
The trip is being watched closely at home and abroad. Foreign diplomats are bracing themselves for their first taste of the Trump show, while the president's supporters hope the trip marks a fresh start for his administration after a disastrous few weeks of scandals and crises.
The drama continues back in Washington, however, as former FBI Director Robert Mueller prepares to investigate Russian meddling in the US election in his new role as special counsel.
