President of the US, Donald Trump, has said, the United States (US) has “no stronger partner” than Saudi Arabia.
The US Leader made the statement during his highly anticipated first major foreign trip – a whirlwind through the Persian Gulf that is hugely inclined towards investment.
Trump’s is currently on a three-day tour of the Middle East which will see him visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
According to bbc.com:
The first day of the trip saw the two sides announce a $142bn (£107bn) arms deal, as well as a raft of other investments that Saudi Arabia’s crown prince said could eventually be worth $1tn.
Trump also made Saudi Arabia the first foreign stop of his first administration, in 2017, and Tuesday’s visit comes after a period of strained relations between the kingdom and Trump’s predecessor, Joe Biden.
At a US-Saudi investment forum, Trump hailed the US-Saudi relationship as “more powerful than ever before” and praised his domestic agenda – particularly as it comcerns the economy and foreign investment.
He said, “from the moment we started we’ve seen wealth that has poured – and is pouring – into America.”
