President Trump's Middle East trip began with a packed day in Riyadh

President Donald Trump arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to kick off a four-day trip to the Middle East centered around securing economic agreements and investments in the U.S. as the region is also dealing with the war in Gaza and the administration is trying to work out a nuclear deal with Iran. Trump arrived in Riyadh Tuesday morning with a Saudi F-15 escort as Air Force One touched down at the airport in a lavish greeting ceremony with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the country’s de facto leader. His time in Saudi Arabia is expected to be filled with numerous business deals that will then stretch to visits to Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Trump and bin Salman signed an economic partnership strategy along with several commercial agreements the White House said was worth more than $600 billion in areas including artificial intelligence, energy and mining over four years, though not all of the deals were binding.

Trump spoke Tuesday afternoon at a U.S.-Saudi business forum that includes several high-profile American executives like Elon Musk, Sam Altman from OpenAI and Jensen Huang of Nvidia.
