Saudi Arabia undertakes to inject $ 600 billion into the US economy in the coming years, Donald Trump, then President of the United States, announced on Thursday.
But the latter does not intend to stop there. He indicated his intention to push for an even more substantial investment, reaching the symbolic threshold of a thousand billion dollars, a Billion.
“I will ask the Crown Prince Mohammed Ben Salmane, who is a remarkable man, to bring this investment to a Billion,” said Donald Trump during a speech in videoconference to the Davos Economic Forum. “I think they will accept because we have been of great support for them,” he added.
This announcement comes shortly after a telephone exchange between Donald Trump and the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salmane, considered as the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia. This call, which occurred just after Trump’s inauguration for his second term, was presented by the White House as a sign of the importance of relations between the two countries.
In addition, Marco Rubio, recently appointed head of American diplomacy, also contacted Mohammed Ben Salmane as soon as he took office, strengthening strategic ties between Washington and Riyadh.
