Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) arrived in Washington, DC, on 18 November 2025, for crucial discussions aimed at strengthening the Kingdom's relationship with the United States. The most prominent statement from the White House was MBS's pledge to invest up to $1 trillion in the US, signalling a significant shift in economic engagement.
US President Donald Trump welcomed MBS, expressing his appreciation: 'It's an honour to be your friend, and it's an honour that you're here.' In response, the Crown Prince indicated that Saudi Arabia was open to joining the Abraham Accords, the historic normalization agreements between Israel and Arab nations.
