Trump advertises with a weapon contract of $ 142 billion for the Saudi visit, lifting sanctions on Syria

US President Donald Trump said that the United States has “not a stronger partner” than Saudi Arabia during his first major trip abroad -a hurricane visit by Goländer, which mainly focus on supporting investments.

On the first day of the trip, the two sides announced a weapon contract of $ 142 billion (£ 107 billion) and a number of other investments that Saudi -Arabia's crown prince said it could be a value of $ 1.

Trump also made Saudi Arabia at the first stop abroad in his first term in 2017. The rest of his Golf tour will include in Qatar and the VAE stops.

Trump spoke in Riyadh almost an hour and also announced that the United States would raise sanctions against Syria to give the country “a chance of size”.

In his remarks in a US Saudi Investment Forum, Trump praised the relationship between the USA and Saudi as “more powerful than ever” and praised his domestic agenda, especially as it is the economy and foreign investments.

“From the moment we started, we saw wealth that was cast in America – and flows – he said.

The visit comes when Trump continues to attempt to promote foreign investors to the United States to strengthen the US economy, an important focus of his administration in the almost four months of his second term.

“I like him too much,” said Trump about Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince and de-facto ruler Mohammed bin Salman. “That's why we give so much.”

Trump underlines his commitment to the graduation business and was accompanied by billionaire Ally Elon Musk and other managing directors at a wasteful lunch.

During his speech, Trump announced that he had lifted sanctions against Syria to “give them a chance of size”, and said that it was his “dream” to join Saudi Arabia, the Abraham Agreement, a deal that was conveyed in his first administration, in which the relationships between Israel and a few golf countries were normalized for the first time.

As far as other regional issues are concerned, Trump briefly addressed the continuing conflict between Israel and Hamas. He told those present that the people in Gaza deserved a “better future” that Hamas had held back and had “decided” for “political goals” – an indication of the attack on October 7th.

The friendly tone of the visit is in a strong contrast to the often Tense relationship between Saudis and Biden, which in 2023 asked the United States to re-evaluate its relationship with the kingdom.

As a candidate who successfully fought Trump in 2020, Biden also sworn to make Saudi Arabia a “paria” in 2018 in response to the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a journalist based in the USA.

In 2021, he also stopped sending off the offensive weapons into the Saudis, even though they were resumed last year.

At that time, Biden also said that there was “very little redeeming” in the Saudi government – even though he visited the kingdom the following year on a state visit.

Trump will travel from Saudi Arabia to both Qatar and the VAE, which has already committed itself to investing 1.4 participants in the United States in the next ten years.
