US President Donald Trump arrived in Saudi Arabia as part of a high-risk Gulf tour designed to solidify economic relations and secure big deals with regional partners. Trump will deliver a keynote speech at a business and innovation forum, where he will share the stage with Elon Musk and other top American business executives.
The forum, also to include tech CEOs, energy tycoons, and investment titans, will also highlight partnerships in artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and defense. Trump’s visit marks a new emphasis on strategic partnerships throughout the Gulf region at a point when the US is looking for deeper regional influence as global dynamics shift.
During his visit, Trump will also have bilateral meetings with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and the agenda is expected to include arms deals, investment in infrastructure, and regional security. Fresh multibillion-dollar deals in aerospace and clean energy are being offered on the table, according to sources.
Trump’s Gulf tour will also take him to the UAE and Qatar, where he will seek to sell a new US economic vision for the Middle East, based on tech-driven growth and private sector partnerships. The visit is a high-stakes diplomatic effort in an election year with eyes fixed on economic returns and global influence.
