US president Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman have signed a number of cooperation documents, amid Trump’s visit to the Arab state.
The documents, hammered out during a meeting of the two leaders in Riyadh, include a strategic economic partnership deal and a number of memoranda of understanding. They cover a range of fields, including energy, military, and mining. Trump is in the Arab state as part of his three-day tour which focuses on securing trillions of dollars in investment from Persian Gulf oil producers. This is his first major overseas trip since retaking office which will also see him visit Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
