US President Donald Trump “looks forward” to welcoming Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the White House, “where the two leaders will participate in an official working visit,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said on Tuesday.

“Thanks to our Dealmaker-in-Chief, the United States secured $600 billion in historic investments during the President’s visit to Saudi Arabia earlier this year, and Americans can expect more good deals for our country spanning technology, manufacturing, critical minerals, defense, and more,” Kelly added.

A senior US administration official said Washington and Riyadh are expected to sign multiple “good” deals during the Crown Prince’s visit. These include a multi-billion-dollar investment in US AI infrastructure; expanded cooperation on civil nuclear energy; new defense sales to strengthen defense cooperation between both nations; and “fulfillments of the Saudis’ $600 billion investment pledge via dozens of targeted investments.”
