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.
