Donald Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman solidified a strategic partnership between the USA and Saudi Arabia with agreements on defense, AI, and economic investments. The deal includes a potential sale of 48 F-35 fighter jets and designation of Saudi Arabia as a Major Non-NATO Ally, alongside cooperation on AI and critical minerals. Saudi Arabia plans to increase its US investments to $1 trillion and build a nuclear power plant with American technology, while Trump defended bin Salman amid criticisms over Jamal Khashoggi's death.
