Washington, D.C., November 18, 2025 — President Donald J. Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia have finalized a series of historic agreements that deepen the U.S.-Saudi strategic partnership, expand high-paying American jobs, and reinforce regional stability.
The agreements build on President Trump’s May visit to Riyadh, which initially secured $600 billion in Saudi investments. Saudi Arabia has now pledged to increase its investments in the U.S. to nearly $1 trillion, reflecting growing trust and momentum in the bilateral relationship.
Key deals include a Civil Nuclear Cooperation Agreement, a Critical Minerals Framework, and a landmark AI Memorandum of Understanding, ensuring U.S. leadership in advanced technology and resilient supply chains.
On defense, the U.S.-Saudi Strategic Defense Agreement (SDA) strengthens the 80-year partnership, enhances regional deterrence, and secures Saudi contributions to shared defense costs. The agreements also include future F-35 deliveries and nearly 300 American tanks for Saudi Arabia, safeguarding hundreds of American jobs.
Economically, Saudi investments will flow into U.S. infrastructure, technology, and industry. Trade cooperation will focus on reducing barriers, aligning standards, and facilitating bilateral trade. Treasury and Saudi Finance agreements will enhance capital markets collaboration and strengthen international financial partnerships.
Combined, these initiatives in nuclear energy, AI, critical minerals, and defense are expected to create high-paying American jobs, bolster U.S. technological leadership, and deliver long-term economic benefits for American workers and families.
