After President Donald J. Trump hinted that he might be open to making Saudi Arabia the destination of his first foreign trip – as he did in his first term – it seems that things may indeed be moving in this direction.
Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) said today (23) that the kingdom wants to invest $600 billion in the US over the next four years.
In 2017, Trump went to Saudi Arabia breaking a tradition of American presidents choosing the United Kingdom as their first trip abroad.
Associated Press reported:
“The comments from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, reported early Thursday by the state-run Saudi Press Agency, came in a phone call with Trump.
‘The crown prince affirmed the kingdom’s intention to broaden its investments and trade with the United States over the next four years, in the amount of $600 billion, and potentially beyond that’, the report said.”
Watch: In 2017, Trump was in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, participating in highly symbolic ‘sword dance’.
In May 2017, Saudi Arabia honored President Trump with their honorary ‘sword dance.’

It is unclear at this point where these Saudi investments would go to.
“Saudi Arabia does, however, rely predominantly on U.S.-made weapons and defense systems, which could be a part of the investment.
There was no immediate readout from the White House on the call. It also wasn’t immediately clear if Trump’s call with the crown prince was his first with a foreign leader since re-entering the White House. However, it was the first reported abroad.”
Watch: in 2017, during the opening of the anti-extremism center in Saudi Arabia, Trump, King Salman and Egiptian President Siossi held a glowing orb to symbolicallt cas out the darkness.
I wasn’t even aware that during the opening of an anti-extremism center in Saudi Arabia in 2017, they held a glowing orb for more than two minutes.
I became aware of this in my thread yesterday about the UAP orbs that have appeared throughout history.

MBS, who rules the kingdom on behalf of his father, King Salman, also spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
After his inauguration on Monday (20), Trump floated the possibility of returning to the kingdom as his first foreign trip, as he did in 2017.
“’The first foreign trip typically has been with the U.K. but … I did it with Saudi Arabia last time because they agreed to buy $450 billion worth of our products’, Trump told journalists in the Oval Office. ‘If Saudi Arabia wanted to buy another $450 billion or $500 — we’ll up it for all the inflation — I think I’d probably go’.”
