Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Discuss Major Investment Deal Worth Up to $1 Trillion
Washington D.C., USA — Former U.S. President Donald Trump and Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman were seen shaking hands in a high-level meeting aimed at deepening economic cooperation between the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
According to sources close to the discussion, the two leaders touched on plans for a potential investment deal that could escalate from hundreds of billions to a historic $1 trillion in total value. The focus of the talks reportedly includes infrastructure, energy, defense, and advanced technology sectors.
The meeting reflects ongoing efforts by Saudi Arabia to diversify its economy beyond oil through its Vision 2030 initiative, with the U.S. seen as a strategic partner in achieving that goal.
In comparison, American citizens received a one-time pandemic relief payment of $600 under Trump’s administration, prompting mixed reactions online about the scale of foreign investment commitments versus domestic economic support.
While the deal remains under negotiation, analysts say such agreements could reshape the economic dynamics between the two countries for decades to come.
