00:00Oh
00:30Ready for those?
01:00Ready for those?
01:30Well, thank you very much, everybody.
01:56Crown Prince Mohammed, we're delighted to have you with us
01:59at the White House.
02:00Very special.
02:01Very, very special.
02:06You know, my son is a big fan of Ronaldo, wherever
02:15Ronaldo is here, with Ronaldo.
02:22And Barron got to meet him, and I think he respects his father a little bit more now.
02:27That's the fact that I introduced you.
02:29So I just want to thank you both for being here.
02:31Thank you very much.
02:32Really an honor.
02:34I just want to thank you both for being here.
02:39As I saw during my wonderful visit to the Kingdom in May, with the Crown Prince's help, Saudi
02:45Arabia has made extraordinary strides and grown into an economic engine and really a modern-day
02:52miracle, an amazing transformation and all for the good.
02:56This opening up of the new avenues of cooperation between the United States and Saudi Arabia is
03:03really unprecedented.
03:04And on that trip, Saudi Arabia announced that it will invest an incredible $600 billion.
03:11That means jobs.
03:12That means jobs.
03:13It's also good for your companies, but I'm only interested in the jobs for your country.
03:17I'm not interested in the profits, but I guess the profits are there, too.
03:21But $600 billion in the United States.
03:24And today, I said, any way you can up that?
03:27And he said, I am going to up that to $1 trillion.
03:30So he's investing $1 trillion into the United States.
03:37But we really do appreciate it very much.
03:40It's a special privilege to welcome.
03:42This week, we're also signing exciting agreements on civil nuclear energy, critical minerals,
03:48and artificial intelligence, numbers that nobody's ever heard of before.
03:52Maybe even most importantly, in a sense, the auto plants.
03:56They're all pouring.
03:57But today, it's a special day.
03:58We think the horizon of the economic cooperation between Saudi Arabia and
04:02America, it's bigger and wider in many areas.
04:05We've been signing a lot of agreement that's going to open the door to develop the relation
04:09deeper in many areas, and we're going to work on it.
04:12We believe the opportunity is huge, so we're going to focus on implementation
04:16and keep increasing the opportunities between our both countries.
04:19So thank you again, Mr. President.
