Saudi-U.S. business deals surge as Trump ties deepen under MBS visit
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s recent visit to Washington has led to billions of dollars in business deals between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. The agreements cover sectors like defence, energy, and technology, but their long-term impact remains unclear. Meanwhile, financial ties between the Trump family and Saudi-backed entities have deepened, raising questions about overlapping interests.
During his presidency, Donald Trump actively pursued closer business ties with Saudi Arabia. His administration facilitated deals such as the sale of F-35 fighter jets and partnerships in artificial intelligence and nuclear energy. These agreements were often signed during high-profile meetings with the Saudi crown prince.
The financial ties between the Trump family and Saudi Arabia have expanded alongside U.S. policy decisions. Billions in deals have been struck, but the direct benefits for the American public are still unclear. The long-term effects on U.S.-Saudi relations—and Saudi-China dynamics—will depend on how these investments unfold.
