Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will pay an official visit to the White House on November 18 to meet with the US President. Donald Trumpa US executive branch official announced.
This meeting, eagerly awaited in both Washington and Riyadh, will take place in a tense but strategic diplomatic context. Trump is reportedly seeking to convince Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords, the normalization pacts concluded in 2020 between Israel and several Arab countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco.
Observers believe the discussions will also cover energy and regional security issues, including stabilizing the global oil market and ongoing tensions with Iran. The US administration seeks to strengthen its military and economic partnership with Riyadh while consolidating its influence in the Middle East.
This visit will mark the first formal meeting between Trump and Mohammed bin Salman since the US president's re-election, symbolizing the gradual warming of relations between Washington and Riyadh after several years of cautious diplomacy.
