<p>President Donald Trump arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday with a large delegation from his cabinet for meetings with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and other high-ranking Saudi officials.</p>
<p>Air Force One landed at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh at around 9:49 a.m. local time after an escort from a pair of Saudi F-15 fighter jets. Once on the ground, Trump was greeted by Mohammed bin Salman, who then took him inside the airport for a brief welcome with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright.</p>
<p>From the airport, Trump and the American delegation were brought to the Saudi Royal Court by an escort of Arabian horses. While speaking with the crown prince, Trump said he believed Saudi investment in the United States could create up to two million jobs, adding, &#8220;I really believe we like each other a lot.&#8221;</p>

<p>Trump announced in March that Saudi Arabia had committed to investing $1 trillion into the American economy.</p>
<p>“I made a deal with Saudi Arabia…I said I’ll go if you pay $1 trillion to American companies, meaning the purchase over a four-year period of $1 trillion, and they’ve agreed to do that,” he said at the time.</p>
<p>Many prominent businessmen and investors, including several Americans, are being hosted for lunch by the crown prince. Attendees include Elon Musk, Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, LinkedIn Chairman Reid Hoffman, FIFA President Gianni Infantino<em>,</em> and many others, according to the White House.</p>
<p>“As you know, we have the biggest business leaders in the world here,” Trump <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/05/13/trump-middle-east-saudi-arabia-qatar-uae/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during his meeting with the crown prince, according to the Washington Post. “They’re going to walk away with a lot of checks for a lot of things that you’re going to provide.”</p>
<p>The lunch is being attended by top Trump officials as well, including Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Trump&#8217;s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, according to a list provided by the White House.</p>
<p>The Saudi Arabia trip is Trump&#8217;s first stop on his second foreign trip of his second term. Trump attended Pope Francis&#8217; funeral in Vatican City on April 26. He is expected to visit Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and possibly Turkey.</p>
