King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) members have continued to distribute relief aid to people affected by floods in Sudan, the Saudi Press Agency reported Thursday.

As many as 10 tons and 200 kilograms of food baskets, 50 shelter bags, and 15 tents were distributed on Wednesday, benefiting 1,020 people, SPA said.

This comes as part of the Saudi aid airlifted under the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, to support the Sudanese people who have been affected by torrential rains, the news agency added.

US President Donald Trump said on Monday he plans to visit Saudi Arabia as early as May in what will be the first foreign trip of his second term, with stops also planned in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

"It could be next month, maybe a little later," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

Four sources briefed on the matter said mid-May was being looked at as the timing for the trip. Trump made Saudi Arabia and Israel the initial stops on his inaugural foreign trip during his first term in 2017.

Topics likely to be discussed include Russia's three-year-old war in Ukraine and the war in Gaza, one source said.

Saudi Arabia has played a prominent role in US foreign policy, including hosting US ceasefire talks with Russia and Ukraine.

"An opportunity for international travel for the president is something that is being looked at. We don’t yet have a specific plan, and we will provide that information when it is official," a White House official said ahead of Trump's remarks.
