Trump Says US to Work on Sudan Peace Deal at Request of Saudi Crown Prince

President Donald Trump vowed that the U.S. would work on securing peace in Sudan thanks to the urging of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Trump made the announcement while speaking to Saudi and U.S. officials at the Kennedy Center in Washington on Wednesday. The administration has been vocal about peace efforts in Sudan for months, but now Trump appears to be redoubling efforts.

“Working with the crown prince was amazing because he said, ‘Sir, you’re talking about a lot of wars, but there’s a place on Earth called Sudan, and it’s horrible what’s happening,'” Trump said, saying MBS explained the cultural history behind the conflict.

“Really amazing to hear,” Trump said, addressing the Saudi leader. “You know we’ve already started working on that, OK?

“We’re working on that. We started about 30 minutes after you explained to us the great importance of that. I view it differently now than I did just a day ago.”

Trump’s efforts come after Pope Leo XIV also called attention to the persecution of Christians in Sudan and elsewhere on Tuesday. (Read more from “Trump Says US to Work on Sudan Peace Deal at Request of Saudi Crown Prince” HERE)
