Trump Pledges Action in Sudan After Saudi Crown Prince’s Plea

Washington D.C. – President Donald Trump has vowed to prioritize finding an end to the brutal civil war in Sudan following a direct appeal from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The announcement came after a meeting between the two leaders at the White House on Tuesday, November 18, 2025.

“His majesty would like me to do something very powerful having to do with Sudan,” President Trump stated during a joint appearance with the Crown Prince. Trump admitted the conflict “wasn’t on my charts” prior to the conversation.

The Sudanese civil war, ongoing since April 2023, has resulted in a devastating humanitarian crisis. Over 40,000 people have died, and over 14 million have been displaced. The conflict pits the Sudanese Armed Forces against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The RSF’s recent capture of North Darfur’s capital, el-Fasher, has led to widespread reports of atrocities, prompting Secretary of State Marco Rubio to call for an immediate halt to foreign military support for the group.

The conflict has also become a proxy battleground for regional powers, with Egypt, Turkiye, and Saudi Arabia backing the Sudanese Armed Forces, while the United Arab Emirates has reportedly supported the RSF.

Following his meeting with Prince Mohammed, President Trump stated on social media that his administration would work with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and other Middle Eastern partners “to get these atrocities to end, while at the same time stabilising Sudan.” The announcement comes as Prince Mohammed concluded his first visit to Washington in seven years.
