Riyadh – BETH News Agency

In his first foreign trip since his election, U.S. President Donald Trump arrived today at King Khalid International Airport, where he was welcomed by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, breaking the customary protocol.

After a brief rest in the airport lounge, the two leaders are scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting to discuss strengthening economic and security cooperation frameworks.

Today also marks the opening of the Saudi–U.S. Business Forum at the King Abdulaziz Conference Center, featuring over 125 speakers and business leaders from major companies such as Tesla, Amazon, BlackRock, and NVIDIA.

The visit includes the signing of several agreements in the fields of investment, energy, and defense, and will conclude with a state dinner in Diriyah hosted by His Majesty King Salman bin Abdulaziz.

This tour underscores a growing strategic partnership: Saudi Arabia plans to invest $600 billion in the United States over the next four years, with current investments exceeding $770 billion, while the Saudi Public Investment Fund’s assets top $940 billion.

BETH will continue to follow the visit’s program.
