U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would work to help end the war in Sudan after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman asked him to get involved in the matter.

Axar.az, citing Reuters, reports that at a Saudi investment conference a day after he met with Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler at the White House, US President Trump stated: "We've already started working on that".

Trump told the gathering, which was attended by bin Salman and his delegation, that his administration began working on the issue half an hour after the crown prince made the request during Tuesday's meeting.

The United States will work with Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and other Middle Eastern countries to end atrocities in the region and stabilize Sudan, Trump later said in a social media post.

The Sudan conflict erupted in 2023 amid a power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces ahead of a planned transition to civilian rule. It has caused ethnically charged bloodletting, widespread destruction, and mass displacement, drawing in foreign powers and threatening to split Sudan.
