Trump secures $600 billion Saudi investment pledge on Gulf tour​

RIYADH, May 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump secured a $600 billion commitment from Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to invest in the United States after the oil power rolled out the red carpet for him at the start of a tour of Gulf states.​

Trump punched the air as he emerged from Air Force One to be greeted by Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who later signed an agreement with the president in Riyadh on energy, defense, mining and other areas.​

Apart from American weapons what will Saudi Arabia be investing in specifically?

 

[Vambram]

$600 billion dollars of investment is huge. The USA is winning and we are making America great again.

Cool. Is Melania being paid for this appearance?

That's great - if it's true.

So is that 600 Billion going to the city and state of New York and families of the 3000+ people who died on 9/11 and the thousands that have died since from complications resulting from that event, and the family of Jamal Khashoggi? I mean, since all by like 2 of the attackers were Saudi nationals and there is all but direct evidence that the Saudi prince directly ordered his killing.

...the carpet was lavender...guessing this picture was from Trump's prior visit during his 1st term.

You are correct - it is purple - a sign of royalty -

Greeted both time by the Crown Prince - Biden couldn't even get him to answer a phone call

Biden visited Saudi Arabia in 2022.

July 15, 2022
President Biden said Friday night that he brought up the murder of Jamal Khashoggi during his closed-door meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and told the prince that he considered him to blame.

“I raised it at the top of the meeting, making clear what I thought at the time and what I think of it now,” Mr. Biden said. “I was straightforward and direct in discussing it. I made my view crystal clear. I said very straightforwardly for an American president to be silent on an issue of human rights is inconsistent with who we are and who I am. I always stand up for our values.”

He reported that Prince Mohammed, often known by his initials M.B.S., denied culpability.

“He basically said that he was not personally responsible for it,” Mr. Biden said. “I indicated that I thought he was.”

You sure? You might to check your sources on that.

Extra cool lavender welcome carpet? Check.

Chatting it up with Saudi royalty? Check

He even got a cool fist bump from MBS.

Or is it a “terrorist fist jab” when a Democrat does it?

And what is with this need to turn everything into some kind of contest between Trump and his predecessor? Really weird, honestly.

They both met with the Saudi royals and they both were well received and shown a gracious welcome. Why can’t that just be the end of it there?

The thing is, you just don't get people on the left rushing to the internet to post threads about how exciting it is for The Saudis to roll out the purple carpet and how it shows their respect for the strength of Biden. This is just normal stuff, like how Biden wasn't rushing to media to tell them how excited he was to pass a cognative test.
MAGAs are really trying very hard to find something "good" related to Trump and then promote it so hard.

You must've missed the memo. We're not all still pretending that Biden wasn't clearly deteriorating before our very eyes.

From Axios:

Joe Biden's physical deterioration was so severe in 2023 and 2024 that advisers privately discussed the possibility he'd need to use a wheelchair if he won re-election, CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios' Alex Thompson write in their new book, "Original Sin," out May 20.​

​

Why it matters: The discussions reflected the extent of the president's declining health — particularly the significant degeneration of his spine — and his aides' alarm over it as Biden sought a second term at age 81.​

​

The conversations also reveal the White House's determination to conceal the reality of Biden's condition, at the risk of his own health, while he faced a tough re-election bid against Donald Trump.​

Roosevelt presided from a wheelchair didn't he?
