20 2017 shows Saudis attending the
The White House is seeking to assemble a coalition of Arab forces to replace U.S. troops in Syria to stabilise regions liberated from Islamic State.
Trump's new National Security Adviser, John Bolton, also reportedly contacted Egypt's intelligence chief Abbas Kamel to determine whether the North African nation would contribute to the effort.
"We made a proposal to the (previous US) Obama administration that if the US were to send forces... then Saudi Arabia would consider along with other countries sending forces as part of this contingent", he said.
In a speech in OH last month, Trump surprised his military leaders by suddenly declaring: "We'll be coming out of Syria like very soon".
A spokesman for the National Security Council declined to comment about Bolton's call to Kamel, who is widely regarded as one of the most powerful figures in the Egyptian regime, said the WSJ, before confirming that other U.S. officials acknowledged the call.
Mr Trump also said in early April that he desired a speedy withdrawal of the 2,000 U.S. troops now positioned in Syria.

However, he added: "This statement of regret can not be easily dismissed and disparaged by Commonwealth heads of government". Strict anti-gay laws remain in place in countries like Nigeria, Uganda, Malawi and elsewhere across the continent.
The initiative, it stressed, follows a request by the United States administration to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE to contribute billions of dollars to rehabilitate northern Syria.
But conflicting interests among Arab nations could be a challenge to building a coalition - a matter made even more complicated if the United States doesn't leave any some troops there to provide military support.
Michael O'Hanlon, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, warned of external intervention, saying: "A new force has to be strong enough to face down Assad or Iran if either seeks to reclaim territory, perhaps with Russia's help".
Donald trump turned to his allies in the middle East.
The mission of the regional force would be to work alongside US-backed Kurdish and Arab forces in their fight against the Islamic State and thwart any Iranian-backed forces from gaining territory formerly held by IS.
