Saudi Arabia Pledges $600B After President Trump’s First Call Abroad

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is dropping $600 billion on the U.S. over the next four years.

After a chat with President Donald Trump, the crown prince announced plans to expand trade and investments.

This is proving once again that President Trump knows the art of the deal.

Details on where the cash will land are hazy, but it’s clear the Saudis are diversifying beyond oil.

It looks like Trump’s decision to make Saudi Arabia his first foreign stop as president was a wise move.

2025 is the year to thrive, and this is a giant step in that direction!

AP News reports:

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Saudi Arabia’s crown prince said Thursday the kingdom wants to invest $600 billion in the United States over the next four years, comments that came after President Donald Trump earlier put a price tag on returning to the kingdom as his first foreign trip.

Trump’s 2017 trip to Saudi Arabia upended a tradition of U.S. presidents first heading to the United Kingdom as their first trip abroad. It also underscored his administration’s close ties to the rulers of the oil-rich Gulf states as his eponymous real estate company has pursued deals across the region as well.

The comments from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, reported early Thursday by the state-run Saudi Press Agency, came in a phone call with Trump.

“The crown prince affirmed the kingdom’s intention to broaden its investments and trade with the United States over the next four years, in the amount of $600 billion, and potentially beyond that,” the report said.

The readout did not elaborate on where those investments and trade could be placed. The U.S. in recent years has increasingly pulled away from relying on Saudi oil exports, which once was the bedrock of their relationship for decades. Saudi sovereign wealth funds have taken large stakes in American businesses while also looking at sports as well.

So, does that mean he’s already done $1.3 trillion in deals in 2 days so far?

Remember that time when…

In Saudi Arabia, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to touch the Crown Prince.
