Signing of an economic partnership document between Riyadh and Washington.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and US President Donald Trump signed the Strategic Economic Partnership Document and memoranda of understanding on security, economic, and technological matters between the two countries on Tuesday.
Saudi media reported this, noting that several memoranda of understanding were signed between Saudi Arabia and the United States covering security, energy, space, health, technology, mining, medical research, and other areas. The financial value or content of the signed documents have not yet been disclosed.
Trump arrived earlier today at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh aboard Air Force One, escorted by Saudi F-15 fighter jets. The American guest was accompanied by a large delegation that included several government ministers and senior officials.
In addition, during a press conference yesterday, the US President described his visit today to Saudi Arabia, followed by the UAE and Qatar, as a historic visit.
The Saudi Cabinet, chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also welcomed the US President’s official visit during its last session.
He expressed his hope that the visit would contribute to strengthening and developing the bonds of cooperation and strategic partnership between the two friendly countries in various fields, in a way that achieves their common interests and vision, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
It is worth noting that this official tour is Trump’s first outside the United States during his second presidential term.
Eight years ago, Trump also chose Saudi Arabia as the destination for his first foreign trip as president, underscoring the importance of Saudi Arabia’s growing geopolitical role in the region, as well as the distinguished commercial and historical ties between the two countries.
