Cheney to visit Saudi Arabia on Mideast tour

Thu May 3, 3:30 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney will go on a
Middle East tour next week that will include a visit to Saudi Arabia,
which has had strained relations with the United States over Iraq in
recent months.

The vice president's office said Cheney leaves on Tuesday on a trip to
the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan "for discussions
with the leaders of these nations on key issues of mutual interest."

His trip will include a meeting with Saudi King Abdullah, who in March said
Iraq was under an "illegitimate foreign occupation," a charge the White
House rejected.

Cheney will also meet U.S. military commanders and speak with U.S. troops
stationed in the Gulf region, his office said without providing more details.
