Saudi Arabia pledges $600 billion to Trump: the biggest deal of the century?
The United States and Saudi Arabia Reach the Largest Trade Agreement Between the Two Countries The Saudi government has pledged to invest $600 billion in the United States.
This week, the United States and Saudi Arabia finalized the largest commercial agreement ever between the two nations. Donald Trump made his first international trip—excluding a stop at the Vatican following the death of Pope Francis—to the Arab nation, where he was welcomed by Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman and sealed a historic deal.
According to multiple reports, Saudi Arabia committed to a $600 billion investment in the U.S., aimed at boosting key sectors such as defense, technology, energy, and infrastructure. The White House stated that the deal will not only enhance the American economy but also represents a major step for national security.
Defense Deal Included
Of the total $600 billion, $142 billion will go toward a defense sales agreement, making Saudi Arabia the United States’ top international defense partner. Under the deal, the kingdom will acquire advanced military equipment and services from American companies.
“The defense relationship with Saudi Arabia is stronger than ever under President Trump’s leadership,” emphasized the White House in its announcement.
Additional Partnerships in Culture, Education, and Science
The agreement also includes collaboration in cultural, educational, and scientific fields. For example, both nations agreed on a partnership between their space agencies to launch joint space projects.
Saudi companies like DataVolt will invest in data centers and energy infrastructure, while U.S. tech giants such as Google and Oracle will invest in emerging technologies.
This historic agreement also aims to channel funds into investment portfolios in the technology, energy, aerospace, and sports sectors, with the goal of creating more jobs in the U.S. and funneling capital into strategic industries. As a result, the economic relationship between the two countries will be significantly strengthened.
