President Trump departs for his first foreign trip as president Friday. He’ll visit Saudi Arabia and Israel and then go to the Vatican and Brussels.

The trip comes amid a swirl of allegations about collusion with Russia, leaked intelligence which may have come from Israel and questions about U.S. policy on the location of the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
