Trump Visit Marks New Alliance Era

As President Donald Trump arrives in Saudi Arabia on his first state visit of his second term, Princess Reema bint Bandar, the Kingdom’s Ambassador to the U.S., outlined the deeper meaning behind the visit in a Washington Times editorial.

“This is a pivotal moment for global peace, security, and prosperity,” she wrote, noting that the partnership between Riyadh and Washington is not merely historical—it is a reimagined future.

Eight years ago, Trump’s first visit to the Kingdom coincided with the launch of Vision 2030. Now, the fruits of that bold vision are visible everywhere—from vibrant cultural scenes to new economic sectors like clean energy, AI, and space technology.

Saudi Arabia’s non-oil economy now contributes 50% to the country’s real GDP, a remarkable milestone. The workforce is also undergoing a renaissance, with women now comprising nearly 40%, many in leadership roles with equal rights and pay.

At the heart of this renewed alliance is the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum, where 15 Saudi ministers, high-level executives, and global business icons like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are expected to meet in Riyadh. Their mission: shape the next chapter of cooperation in defense, technology, manufacturing, and infrastructure.

Princess Reema emphasized that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has pledged $600 billion in investments in the United States over the next four years—supporting Vision 2030’s diversification goals while boosting U.S. economic growth. President Trump has already called for that amount to be raised to $1 trillion.

Through strong leadership and strategic alignment, Saudi Arabia and the U.S. are forging a future of shared prosperity, security, and innovation.
