() President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend a meeting in Miami on Wednesday with global financiers and tech executives hosted by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund. The conference will focus on U.S. investments and business, according to a White House official.

Trump is expected to deliver an in-person address at the event following his call in January for Riyadh to invest $1 trillion in the United States.

The meeting also comes after Saudi Arabia slammed Trump’s plan to relocate Palestinians from Gaza as part of a U.S.-led rebuilding plan.

Trump blasts Zelenskyy after Russia talks

On Tuesday, Trump also appeared to blame Ukraine’s leaders for starting the three-year war with Russia, arguing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “should have never started it.”

“You could have made a deal,” Trump said to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate. “I could have made a deal for Ukraine that would have given them almost all of the land, and no people would have been killed, and no city would have been demolished, and not one dome would have been knocked down. But they chose not to do it that way.”

Despite his criticism, he expressed a personal liking for Zelenskyy and emphasized his focus on achieving results.

Zelenksyy protests Russian attacks

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other senior officials met Tuesday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Saudi Arabia and agreed to stay in close communication to work to end the war.

Zelenskyy has accused Russia of continued attacks, particularly on the city of Odesa, and of launching 150 suicide drones overnight.

Zelenskyy delayed his planned trip to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday in protest and criticized Trump for living in a “disinformation space,” as new intelligence suggests Russian President Vladimir Putin remains determined to control all of Ukraine and has no interest in peace talks.

PGA seeks Trump’s help with LIV Golf merger

Golf legend Tiger Woods said merger talks between the U.S.-based PGA Tour and Saudi-backed rival LIV Golf are in a “very positive place.”

Woods said PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and player director Adam Scott had a productive meeting with Trump this month, seeking his involvement in talks with Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund.

PGA and Saudi officials said they hope Trump can help ease antitrust concerns about the merger and expect regulators to be more receptive under Trump than under the Biden administration.
