US President Donald Trump is visiting Saudi Arabia to boost economic ties, aiming for significant US investments. In 2023, US foreign direct investment in Saudi Arabia reached $54 billion, with trade at $32.5 billion in 2024. Trump seeks to deepen this partnership, with plans to attend a summit of Gulf leaders. Despite hopes for substantial investments, Saudi Arabia's economic diversification efforts may limit funds available for US investments. The visit coincides with the Saudi-US Investment Forum, attracting key US CEOs and Elon Musk.
