During Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s visit to Washington, Saudi Arabia pledged to invest almost $1 trillion in the United States, a significant economic commitment detailed by the White House. President Donald Trump announced the recognition of Saudi Arabia as a major non-NATO ally, which grants expedited access to US military hardware and strengthens their strategic and economic partnership. The agreements, which include defense deals and infrastructure investments, build on previous successful interactions between the two nations, including Trump’s May visit to Riyadh. The partnership also encompasses collaborations on nuclear energy, critical minerals, and AI technology, reflecting the depth of the US-Saudi economic and strategic relationship.
