"His majesty would like me to do something very powerful having to do with Sudan. It was not on my charts to be involved in, I thought it was just something that was crazy and out of control," Trump said at a Saudi-US business forum.

"But I just see how important that is to you, and to a lot of your friends in the room, Sudan. And we're going to start working on Sudan."
