In a landmark economic and strategic breakthrough, former President Donald J. Trump announced a sweeping $600 billion investment commitment from Saudi Arabia into the United States during a high-profile visit to the Kingdom.
The deal, which spans defense, energy, infrastructure, technology, and health sectors, marks the largest set of commercial agreements in U.S.-Saudi history.
The announcement includes a $142 billion defense agreement—the largest ever—between the two nations, which will bolster Saudi Arabia’s military capabilities while creating substantial opportunities for U.S. defense firms. It also features major energy and infrastructure projects, such as a $20 billion investment by Saudi-based DataVolt in U.S. data centers and energy infrastructure.
American tech giants including Google, Oracle, and AMD are teaming up with Saudi counterparts to invest $80 billion in advanced technology development. Meanwhile, U.S. engineering and construction firms will contribute to high-profile projects in the Kingdom, generating $2 billion in U.S. service exports.
Other highlights include:
- $14.2 billion in GE Vernova energy exports
- $4.8 billion in Boeing aircraft sales
- $5.8 billion in healthcare investments including a manufacturing facility in Michigan
- Creation of multi-billion-dollar sector-specific funds focusing on energy, aerospace, and sports
The deal also includes new agreements on critical mineral supply chains, energy innovation, air transport, and even space cooperation—such as Saudi Arabia’s CubeSat participating in NASA’s Artemis II mission.
Both countries also pledged to strengthen cultural and scientific ties through partnerships with the Smithsonian Institution, including conservation efforts and historical exhibitions.
Trump called the agreement a “new golden era” in U.S.-Saudi relations and a major step forward for American workers, industry, and global competitiveness. “This is how we Make America Great Again—by putting America first and bringing back investment, jobs, and opportunity,” he said.
The agreement builds on Trump’s previous 2017 deals with Saudi Arabia and underscores the Kingdom’s growing role as a key U.S. trading partner in the Middle East. In 2024, bilateral trade reached $25.9 billion, with the U.S. enjoying a trade surplus.
This historic investment package signals a deepening strategic partnership that leaders say will drive prosperity and security for both nations for decades to come.
