During the visit, POTUS will be discussing several key parts of the Saudi-US relationship, including a possible arms deal, diplomatic ties, and more.
Alongside President Trump, we’ve also welcomed powerful American business leaders including the likes of Tesla CEO and Trump adviser Elon Musk, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, and Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser.
