We have a lot of people that have asked about it,” the president said, naming Grenell and former US ambassador to Israel David Friedman as possible picks.

The president said he may also visit the U.A.E. and other countries.

US President Donald Trump announced his upcoming visits to Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Saudi Arabia next month. The announcement was made while signing executive orders in the Oval Office. Asked if the trip will take place in May as reported, Trump responds, "It could be next month, maybe a little bit later."
