Donald Trump Prizes in the US More Investment in the USA

This week, US President Donald Trump from the Gulf Visiting States, the main attention will be provided with significant new investments for the US economy.

“President Trump wants the announcement (more money in the Gulf for the US),” says economist Karen Young, senior employee of the Middle East analytical center.

“He wants to have a big poster at a meeting that describes where these investments can go.

On Tuesday, May 13, Trump should come to the capital of Saudi Arabia, Eriyad to meet with the actual leader in the country Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Trump is expected to attend the Gulf leaders in the city on May 14 before heading to Qatar on the same day and then stop his three -day trip to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on May 15.

The economic importance of the Trump region is emphasized by the fact that the visit to Saudi Arabia was to become the first overseas trip to his second term in the White House. It was up to the death of Pope Francis, who demanded Trump, who visited his funeral in Rome by the end of April.

Saudi Arabia was also the first country to visit Trump during his first term, going against the current US presidential practice to start with the UK, Canada or Mexico.

Fixing new investments in the US in Persian Gulf, and especially with the support of state sovereign funds that are supported by the state, will help Trump signal home that his “America” ​​agenda gives results.

The presidential visit attracts the Upper Wall -Strit and Silicon Valley to Saudi Arabia. The Saudi-US Investment Forum on May 13 will be presented by executives from BlackRock, Palantir, Citigroup, IBM, Qualcomm, Alphabet and Franklin Templeton.

The onslaught is against the background of economic winds, as the new tariffs of President Trump have greatly violated global trade, confidence and US economy itself. The US economic products fell in the first three months of this year, the first fall in three years.

Back in January, Prince Mohammed said Saudi Arabia’s $ 600 billion (£ 450 billion) in the United States in the coming years. However, Trump has already said he so to grow up to $ 1tn, Including the purchase of greater US military equipment.

According to Ali Shihabi – Saudi commentator and the author, with close ties with the Saudi government – a number of economic agreements will be signed on the trip.

“These deals additionally integrate Saudi and US economies together, joint ventures in the Kingdom, the USA, the procurement of American weapons and goods,” says Mr. Shihabi.

The Saudi Arabian Sovereign Fund, the State Investment Fund (PIF), which controls assets worth $ 925 billion, already has numerous investments in the US. These include Uber, Electronic Arts Game firm and Lucid electric firm.

Meanwhile, the UAE has already pledged to invest 1.4. In the United States in the next 10 years in sectors such as AI, semiconductors, energy and production. This was announced by the White House in March after the UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnun Bin Zaed Al Nahan, meeting with President Trump in Washington.

However, Mrs. Young of the Middle East says that the scale of these investments in the short term is not realistic. Instead, she says they are long -term strategic steps and that figures should be taken “with a little salt grain”.

As for specific transactions that could be announced during Trump’s visit, it is widely reported that Saudi Arabia will agree to buy more than $ 100 billion and other military subjects.

They say they include missiles, radar systems and transport planes.

The United States was a long -standing weapon supplier to Saudi Arabia, but in 2021, the Biden administration stopped selling offensive weapons to Eriyad, citing the country’s role in the neighboring Yemen.

The murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Hashogi in 2018 was also widely reported. The US report states that Prince Mohammed approved the murder.

Last year, the White House Biden resumed the sale of this weapon. While he referred to the Saudi stopped bombing Yemen, some commentators said the US was looking for help in Saudi Arabia to help end the conflict in gas and help its future reconstruction.

Mr. Shihabi says Saudi Arabia will seek assurances in the White House that the US will implement a “more efficient procurement system”, which will allow the Gulf of Persian to gain access to ammunition and military equipment much faster and easily.

“The Trump administration initiates procedures to facilitate these transactions. Thus, this process is expected to improve immediately,” he adds.

Artificial intelligence is another topic that will prevail on the agenda during Mr. Trump’s visit. Negotiations are expected to be aimed at attracting large investments in the bay to US technology firms and raising the region’s access to advanced American semiconductors.

The UAE and Saudi Arabia invest billions of dollars in the technology sector when trying to diversify their economies from oil.

In particular, the Emirates seek to prove themselves as the AI ​​Global Center.

Last week, Trump administration abandoned Baden’s chips that put restrictions on the exports of US chips in more than 120 countries, including the Gulf state.

The White House is expected to develop new rules that potentially provide direct negotiations with countries such as the UAE.

“This is absolutely important for the UAE,” says Mrs. Young. “They aggressively create their power.

Although much attention will be paid to Trump, which is lying to the Bay capital for the US, Saudi Arabia is equally focused on attracting US investments into his Vision 2030 ambitious program.

Led by gigantic construction projects such as the construction of a linear city called Line, Vision 2030 is the main place in the constant efforts of the Saudi Arabian government to diversify the country’s economy.

It also involves infusion of resources into entertainment, tourism, mining and sports.

However, direct foreign investments in Saudi Arabia decreased by the third consecutive year in 2024, reflecting sustainable problems when attracting a foreign capital.

The fall in the world’s oil prices since the beginning of the year has even more strained the ERRIAD finance, increasing the pressure on increased debt, or to reduce the costs for maintaining development goals.

Oil prices have fallen up to a four -year minimum amid increasing concern that the trade war could mitigate global economic growth.

The decline was additionally fueled by a group of countries producing oil, OPEC+, announcing plans to increase production.

Saudi Arabia is part of this group, and some commentators stated that the rise was partially desire To please Trump, who called for a decrease in oil prices.

Other analysts note that the reason that OPEC+ remains confident that the global economy is growing.

The American Business Soci is an organization aimed at raising trade ties between the two countries.

I hope Trump’s visit will push the US business to study additional opportunities in Saudi Arabia, especially in sectors such as AI, health care and education.

“The Saudi government is largely looking for investments in these sectors. There is a very large appetite for Saudi companies to cooperate with US companies,” says BBC Hustaim Al Jalal, headed by the Riyadh office.

Saudi officials are said to be sure that some transactions in these sectors will be provided during Trump’s visit.

For Saudi Arabia, Trump’s visit is to strengthen the ties with their longest Western allies – the relations that grew in Biden. For President Trump we are talking about planting investment transactions that can be stopped as a win for his economic agenda.

“President Trump is looking for a big investment headline in America, and he will get it from this trip,” Mr. Schikhab adds.
