Abstract

US President Donald Trump's visit to the Gulf in May 2025, as well as the messages he delivered, signal a significant shift in American foreign policy. As a major driver of this transformation, Trump insists on geoeconomic instruments to conduct global geopolitical competition and prioritizes real political approaches for Gulf regime security. This study analyzes US foreign policy towards the Middle East within the framework of the Trump Doctrine. As a result of the visit, the US has abandoned its interventionist stance in the region's internal affairs and has shifted toward a foreign policy approach that emphasizes economic and diplomatic means. In light of China's growing influence in the world, this reflects a redefining of US strategic priorities in the region.
