Saudi Arabia Commits USD 600 Billion to US During Trump’s MENA Tour
The deal includes a historic USD 142 billion arms agreement, the largest in US history, covering advanced military support.
During President Donald Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom signed a strategic economic agreement committing USD 600 billion in investments across key US sectors, including defense, technology, energy, and healthcare.
A central component of the deal is a USD 142 billion arms agreement—the largest of its kind in US history—which encompasses state-of-the-art military equipment, services, and extensive training programs for Saudi armed forces. The package includes advanced systems such as C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft, THAAD anti-ballistic missile systems, Patriot PAC-3 missile defenses, and MQ-9B SeaGuardian drones. While discussions about the potential sale of F-35 fighter jets have occurred, no confirmation has been made regarding their inclusion in the deal.
Beyond defense, the agreement includes significant investments in technology and infrastructure. Saudi data centre operator DataVolt plans to invest USD 20 billion in US AI and energy projects. Additionally, a consortium including Google, Oracle, and DataVolt has pledged USD 80 billion toward joint technology initiatives. In the healthcare sector, Shamekh IV Solution is committing USD 5.8 billion, which includes the establishment of a high-capacity IV fluid plant in Michigan.
The agreements also cover cooperation in customs, judicial coordination, infectious disease research, and a new partnership between Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Interior and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation.
President Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia is the first stop on his Gulf tour, with subsequent visits to the UAE and Qatar planned.
