US President Donald Trump has announced a $ 600 billion teacher from Saudi Arabia in the United States, which represents one of the largest economic and defense cooperation efforts between allies so far. The deal includes approximately 142 billion dollars in defense agreements and was revealed during Trump’s prominent visit to his head, where he was received by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) and senior Gulf officials.
Trump, accompanied by business leaders, including Elon Musk, CEO of Openai, Sameni, and CEO of Blackrock, Larry Fink, participated at the Saudi Investment Forum at the King Abdulaziz International Center. “I really think we love each other a lot,” Trump said during his meeting with MBS. “Oh, what I do for the crown prince,” later added a smile, as the two agreements covering energy, defense, mining and technology were signed.
Trump’s visit was greatly focused on commercial and economic growth instead of traditional regional security issues. “It is time to shine,” Trump announced, referring to Syria, where he announced the lifting of US sanctions on the war -torn nation. “Show us something very special, as they did, frankly, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, well?” He added.
Trump’s axis was far from human rights -based foreign policy in the previous United States: “Many American presidents themselves have found the idea that it is our duty to look at the lives of foreign leaders and the use of US policy to distribute justice for their sins.” Instead, Trump called on practical cooperation to push prosperity in the region.
During his statements, Trump gave a wide praise to MBS and put forward, “Muhammad, do you sleep at night? Or are you awake, think,” How can I make it better? On the other hand, Saudi Investment Minister Khaled Al -Falah emphasized the expansion of the surgery in the United States.
The signed agreements include what US officials describe as the largest defense sales deal between countries. Although it is still unclear whether Lockheed F-35 aircraft that were very searched for the package, two sources were informed in the discussions confirmed that the purchase process was seriously.
Musk was seen talking to Trump and MBS at a reception of Palace and joined the president for an official lunch alongside Blackstone, Google, Amazon, Uber, Palantir and other major American companies.
The MBS ‘2030 reform plan, which aims to reduce the economic dependence of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on oil, was in the forefront and the center. The ambitious initiative includes Giga projects such as NEOM, a high -tech city of Belgium. However, the increasing costs and fluctuations in the Kingdom’s oil markets forced to expand some of its goals.
During the celebration of regional partnerships, Trump again confirmed the opposition of the United States to the influence of Iran in the region. He said: “The leadership of Iran has caused an unimaginable suffering in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq, Yemen and beyond.” Even when the American and Iranian negotiators met in Oman during the weekend to discuss the curb of Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. Trump warned of possible military action if diplomacy fails.
A prominent moment came in his title when Trump expressed his hope that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will join Ibrahim’s agreements soon. “I will do this in your own time,” he said, admitting the frequency of its current leadership due to the continuous Israel war in Gaza. The applause followed his pledge to lift the sanctions against Syria, but the room is silent when the possibility of normalization with Israel – as it remains to shed light on the political complications that are still waving on the horizon on Trump’s regional ambitions.
Trump’s journey in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates later this week continues, focusing on investment opportunities. Israel has significantly excluded the flight line, which raised calm fears among Israeli officials. His envoy, Steve Whitchov, said that the progress made in expanding Ibrahim’s agreements is unexpectedly expected, but the sources indicate that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s refusal to a Palestinian state or a ceasefire in Gaza is a mass of great obstacles to any Saudi penetration of Israel.
Since the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States enhances economic relations, the visit emphasizes a broader shift in American foreign policy under Trump – from the moral position to economic realism.
