US to call the Persian Gulf ‘Arabian Gulf’ say officials ahead of Trump’s Middle East trip

Ahead of Donald Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia, the US has decided to refer to the Persian Gulf as the Arabian Gulf, a move likely aimed at strengthening ties with Arab nations. This decision has sparked condemnation from Iranian officials, who view it as a politically motivated attempt to alter the historically established name. Trump's trip includes stops in Qatar and the UAE, focusing on financial investment and regional issues.
