President Trump is in the Middle East.

New data about consumer prices comes out today.

And if you can't stand humidity, you're going to really hate the forecast.

That's some of what we'll get to on the seven from the Washington Post.

It's Tuesday, May 13th.

Let's get you caught up with today's seven stories.

Number one. President Donald Trump arrived in Saudi Arabia this morning. He's on a four-day trip that will include visits to Qatar and the UAE.

It's the first major overseas tour since Trump returned to the White House.

And it's to a region where Trump's family business interests have grown significantly.

The president's sons have spent the last few weeks crisscrossing the Middle East.

They've been laying the groundwork for deals that will benefit the Trump Organization and, in some instances, Trump

himself. Meanwhile, former U.S. military and secret service officials are raising security concerns

about a potential gift from one of the countries Trump is set to visit.

The government of Qatar wants to give the U.S. a luxury jet for Trump to use.

Yesterday, during a White House news conference, Trump defended his plans to accept the jet.

So I think it's a great gesture from Qatar. I appreciate it very much. I would never be one to turn down

that kind of an offer. I mean, I could be a stupid person say, no, we don't want a free,

very expensive airplane. But I thought it was a great gesture.

The idea even got pushback from normally supportive Fox News hosts yesterday.

Fresh inflation data could reveal the first signs of President Trump's trade war.
