Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has announced a major commitment to expand the kingdom’s investment in the United States to nearly $1 trillion, marking one of the largest foreign investment pledges in recent history.
The Crown Prince made the declaration on Tuesday during a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, where both leaders highlighted plans to strengthen economic cooperation across multiple sectors of the American economy.
President Trump initially noted that Saudi Arabia had committed to investing “at least $600 billion,” expressing optimism that the figure could rise. He emphasized that such investments would boost American industries, create jobs, and generate significant economic activity.
“You’ve agreed to invest $600 billion into the United States, and because he’s my friend, he might make it a trillion,” Trump said. “That means investments in plants, in companies, money on Wall Street — and what it really means is jobs. A lot of jobs.”
Moments later, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman confirmed the expanded target, stating that the kingdom intends to raise its investment figure substantially.
“Today and tomorrow, we are going to announce that we are increasing that $600 billion to almost $1 trillion of investment — real investment and real opportunity in many areas,” he said.
The investment is expected to span energy, technology, infrastructure, industry, and strategic partnerships that further deepen U.S.–Saudi economic ties.
