00:00Welcome back. Saudi Arabia has been Trump's first stop in both terms as President.
00:05What makes this nation so crucial to the US?
00:09Let's find out from Dr. Feroz Ali, Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Law and International Relations, UNIZAR.
00:18Indeed, we are looking into a more transactional, business-oriented kind of deal
00:25where in the past, he had done the same.
00:30Back in 2017, when he visited Riyadh in the Riyadh Summit,
00:35he engaged in various contracts, deal-making to an amount of US$267 billion.
00:43Therefore, I believe he is looking forward to replicate the same success that he had in 2017, in 2025.
00:51Analysts reported there are different deals waiting for him in Riyadh.
01:02Some of the deals center on arms trade between Riyadh and also America.
01:08And there's also been reports about Saudi Arabia planning to pledge at least $600 billion of investment
01:17into the United States in different areas, in AI, tourism, aerospace, and a few other sectors.
01:26Now, for Trump, this is good news if it materializes because this is a big amount of money
01:34that can be brought forward to the United States.
01:37It can be used to empower the economy of the United States,
01:43create industries, create more jobs,
01:47something which is in line with his overall Make America Great Again mantra.
