President Donald Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia finalized a series of landmark agreements that deepen the U.S.-Saudi strategic partnership, expand opportunities for high-paying American jobs, strengthen critical supply chains, and reinforce regional stability.

These agreements build on President Trump’s successful May visit to Riyadh and the $600 billion in Saudi investment commitments secured for the United States at that time. In a major expansion of this partnership, the Crown Prince announced that Saudi Arabia will increase their investment commitments in the United States to almost $1 trillion.

Through the deals reached with Saudi Arabia, President Trump is positioning America as a leader in energy and advanced technology while ensuring our supply chains remain resilient.

The United States and Saudi Arabia signed a Joint Declaration on the Completion of Negotiations on Civil Nuclear Energy Cooperation, which builds the legal foundation for a decades-long, multi-billion-dollar nuclear energy partnership with the Kingdom.

The United States and Saudi Arabia also signed a Critical Minerals Framework in an effort to diversify and safeguard critical mineral supply chains.

The United States and Saudi Arabia signed a landmark artificial intelligence Memorandum of Understanding that gives the Kingdom access to world-leading American systems while protecting U.S. technology from foreign influence.

President Trump is advancing U.S. national security by forging agreements that enhance regional deterrence, grow the American industrial base, and ensure that partners like Saudi Arabia shoulder more responsibility for countering shared threats.

President Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman signed the U.S.-Saudi Strategic Defense Agreement making it easier for U.S. defense firms to operate in Saudi Arabia, securing new burden-sharing funds from Saudi Arabia to defray U.S. costs, and affirming that the Kingdom views the United States as its primary strategic partner.

President Trump approved a major defense sale package, including future F-35 deliveries, which strengthens the U.S. defense industrial base and ensures Saudi Arabia continues to buy American.

Saudi Arabia’s nearly $1 trillion investment commitment into U.S. infrastructure, technology, and industry will flow directly into American communities, according to the White House.

The Treasury Department and Saudi Ministry of Finance signed agreements to enhance collaboration on capital markets technology, standards, and regulations, and deepen partnership in international financial institutions.

The United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia also advanced new investment opportunities that will expand U.S. exports and reduce trade barriers - direct wins for American manufacturers.

Combined with the critical minerals, nuclear, AI, and defense initiatives announced, these deals will create high-paying American jobs, boost U.S. technological leadership, and deliver massive returns for American workers and families for decades to come.
