Trump announces 142 billion US dollars contract with Saudi Arabia

The United States has agreed to sell Saudi Arabia to sell a weapon package worth almost 142 billion US dollars on Tuesday when President Donald Trump launched his departure in Riyadh Ausstart.

The package described by the Trump government as a “largest defense cooperation agreement” in history includes offers with more than a dozen American defense companies in sectors such as air and rocket defense.

Experts like Dent have described the potential business as a blessing for Saudi plans to diversify its economy after its Saudi Vision 2030 initiative from oil.

While in Saudi Arabia, Trump is expected to take part in a Gulf Cooperation Council-Summit, on which more diplomatic topics are discussed, including the use of the Israel Hamas War in Gaza Strip and discussions about a possible nuclear deal with Iran.

Trump's decision will be Trump's decision to visit Israel during such a top -class trip to the region, says Elliott Abram, Senior Fellow at Council for Foreign Relations. “The country that was released from this picture is Israel,” says Abram. “While Trump had a close relationship with Israel during his first term, his transaction approach, with which Iran, with the Houthis and now to negotiate with the golf areas, prompted him without considering Israeli concerns.”

Later a week, Trump will visit Qatar and the United Arab Emirates to discuss other diplomatic and investment transactions. This week, the President said that he is planning to accept a luxury jet as a gift from Qatar, a step that was pushed by the legislators in both parties in the legal and constitutional concerns.

Trump's first trip abroad in his previous term was in the Middle East. He planned to do his second term in the same way, but traveled to Rome last month to take part in the funeral of Pope Francis.

In May 2017, Trump visited the Arabic-Islamic-American summit in Riad, on which regional leaders came together to discuss security and fight against terrorism. Just like his current journey, Trump announced new investments between the USA and Saudi Arabia during this visit.

“The business celebrated today are historical and transformative for both countries and represent a new golden era of the partnership between the United States and Saudi Arabia,” said the White House in a explanation.

A partnership between the Interior Ministry in Saudi Arabia and the FBI was also included in the agreements.

On the early Tuesday, Trump took part with other top-class guests, including Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, the CEO of Tesla, who participated in the Ministry of Government Efficiency of the Government (Doge) and the CEO of Openaai, Sam Altman, in a VIP lunch in the wasteful Saudi Royal Court.

Musk's number of visitors, who previously said that he would be spent on Doge from May, indicates that he continues to play an outstanding role in the Trump administration.

Other important US business figures, including Stephen Schwarzman, CEO of the Blackstone Group, and Larry Fink, CEO from Blackrock, were also present.

It is expected that Trump will take a dinner with the Saudi Arabia -DE -Facto -Herrer, Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, later on Tuesday.

Elizabeth Dent, Senior Fellow at the Washington Institute for East Policy Think Tank, told the time that the world leaders could have a possibility, “a civil law contract between the United States and Saudi Arabia, which has long been tied to the possibility of Normalization Saudi Israel, but has recently been decoupled”.
