The United States President Donald Trump has secured $600 billion in investment in Saudi Arabia during his diplomatic visit to Riyadh.
In a statement by the White House on May 13, 2025, the agreement, part of a broader $600 billion commitment by Saudi Arabia to invest in the U.S. economy, includes transformative deals spanning defence, infrastructure, energy, healthcare, and technology.
“Today in Saudi Arabia, President Donald J. Trump announced Saudi Arabia’s $600-billion commitment to invest in the United States, building economic ties that will endure for generations to come. The first deals under the announcement strengthen our energy security, defence industry, technology leadership, and access to global infrastructure and critical minerals,” the statement read.
This comes just one week after President Trump announced a US-UK trade agreement that included billions of dollars in American exports such as beef, ethanol, agricultural products, chemicals, machinery, and steel.
