Trump announces tour to Saudi Arabia to seal $1tr deal

LAHORE: US President Donald Trump announced that he is likely to visit Saudi Arabia within the next month and a half.

“I’m going to Saudi Arabia… Normally, you’d go to the UK first, but the last time I went to Saudi Arabia,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

He explained that during that visit, he made a deal: “I said I’d go if they agreed to spend $1 trillion on American companies over a four-year period, and they’ve agreed to that, so I’ll be going.”

Trump also emphasized his strong relationship with Saudi Arabia, stating, “They’ve been very nice, and they’ll be spending a lot of money on American companies for military equipment and other purchases.”
