US President Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman hold hands during a meeting in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, DC, US, November 18, 2025. — Reuters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Donald Trump on Tuesday praised Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s pledge to invest $1 trillion in the United States, as the Saudi royal received a grand reception at the White House.<\/p>\n

Trump moved to consolidate his growing bromance with the Saudi leader, who is at the Oval Office for the first time in seven years, giving him a parade of soldiers on horseback and a military flypast featuring F-35 jets that he said Washington would soon sell to Riyadh.<\/p>\n

Trump opened their White House meeting with praise for the prince’s “incredible” human rights record.<\/p>\n

The heir to the throne then delighted Trump by announcing that he was increasing the $600 billion Saudi investment he promised Trump when the US president visited the country in May.<\/p>\n

“We can announce that we are going to increase that $600 billion to almost $1 trillion for investment,” Prince Mohammed said in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

A grinning Trump asked him to confirm the figure, to which the Saudi royal replied: “Definitely.”<\/p>\n

Trump pulled out all the stops for the Saudi prince, giving him treatment normally reserved for a state visit to the White House, despite the fact that he is not a head of state.<\/p>\n

He welcomed bin Salman — who is widely known as MBS — on the South Lawn of the White House as cannon fire boomed out, before they watched the noisy flypast by US military jets.<\/p>\n

The 79-year-old Republican then showed the prince a new gallery of presidential portraits by the Rose Garden — including one portraying his Democratic predecessor Joe Biden as an autopen.<\/p>\n

Trump has accused an ageing Biden of using the automated device to sign presidential pardons, and questioned their legality.<\/p>\n

Later in the day, First Lady Melania Trump will hold a gala dinner.<\/p>\n

Portugal soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays in Saudi Arabia, will also be at the White House for the gala day of events, a White House official told AFP.<\/p>\n

The president has made a priority of boosting ties with the oil-rich Gulf kingdom, particularly as he seeks to turn the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza into a longer-lasting regional peace.<\/p>\n

Trump said he had pushed the prince to normalise relations with Israel as part of the Abraham Accords that he launched in his first term.<\/p>\n

Prince Mohammed said he was working to do so “as soon as possible” but insisted on securing a “clear path of two-state solution” for a Palestinian state first.<\/p>\n

Civil nuclear deal<\/span><\/h2>\n

Trump meanwhile reiterated his intention to sell Saudi Arabia coveted F-35 stealth fighters, despite concerns from Israel and warnings from US officials that China could steal technological knowledge about the jets.<\/p>\n

In another area of past contention, Trump will sign a deal on a framework for civilian nuclear cooperation, a US official and a source familiar with the negotiations said.<\/p>\n

The 40-year-old prince has fostered close ties with Trump and his family over the years, including through investment pledges to the property billionaire-turned-US president.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
