On November 18, the Saudi crown prince will pay a visit to Donald Trump.

KSA – Washton DC – (Correspondent / Web Desk) – Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will visit the White House on November 18 for an official working visit with US President Donald Trump, a White House official announced on Monday.
The visit coes as Trump presses Saudi Arabia to join the list of states that have signed the Abraham Accords. In 2020, Trump negotiated agreements with the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco to repair relations with Israel.
The Saudis have been reticent to participate in the absence of progress for Palestinian statehood.
Trump told CBS’ “60 Minutes” in an interview broadcast on Sunday that he anticipated the Saudis will eventually join the deals.

The US president also said earlier this month that he expected an expansion of the Abraham Accords soon and hoped Saudi Arabia would join the pact. In August, he also stressed the importance of Middle Eastern countries joining the accords.

Trump and the crown prince may also discuss a US-Saudi defence agreement. The Financial Times reported two weeks ago that there were hopes the two countries could sign such an agreement during Salman’s visit.

A senior Trump administration official told Reuters that “there are discussions about signing something when the crown prince comes, but details are in flux“.

The Saudis have sought formal US guarantees to defend the kingdom as well as access to more advanced US weaponry.

Saudi Arabia is one of the largest customers for US arms, and the two countries have maintained strong ties for decades based on an arrangement in which the kingdom delivers oil and Washington provides security.

During Trump’s May visit to Riyadh, the US agreed to sell Saudi Arabia an arms package valued at almost $142 billion. Trump also hailed Salman’s offer of $600 billion in investment, saying it should be $1 trillion.
