US EditionTakeaways from Trump’s White House meeting with Saudi crown prince
Saudi Arabia pledges up to $1 trillion investment and secures major defense deals including F-35 jets as Trump designates it a major non-NATO ally.
- President Donald Trump welcomed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman to the White House and approved F-35 sales after previewing the decision on Sunday, amid ceremonial pomp.
- The Oval Office sitdown took place just seven years after U.S. intelligence agencies linked Prince Mohammad bin Salman to Jamal Khashoggi's 2018 killing, while President Donald Trump praised the prince's statesmanship and downplayed human rights critiques.
- Pentagon and other U.S. agencies opposed the sale over tech-transfer fears to China, while Israeli officials accepted F-35s only if Saudi Arabia normalized ties under the Abraham Accords and Saudi government demanded Palestinian statehood.
- Prince Mohammad bin Salman pledged to boost Saudi financial commitments to the U.S. from 600 billion to 1 trillion, and the leaders agreed on broader military and civilian nuclear deals with investments in artificial Intelligence.
- Amid ceremony, public questioning produced pointed denials from the prince, who faced reporters and said `It's been painful for us in Saudi Arabia` while Trump lashed out at a reporter.
