The United States and Saudi Arabia have taken a big step forward in their relationship. President Trump made a big announcement at a fancy dinner with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. He said Saudi Arabia is now a major non-NATO ally. This means the two countries will work even more closely on military and security issues.

The dinner was quite the event, with famous faces like Cristiano Ronaldo, Elon Musk, Tim Cook, and Jensen Huang in attendance. Trump mentioned that Saudi Arabia is safer now than ever before. He also talked about a new defense agreement that he and the crown prince had just signed. The goal is to make both countries stronger and promote peace in the Middle East.

The crown prince thanked Trump for the warm welcome and talked about the long history between the two countries. He mentioned that they have been working on many economic opportunities. The visit resulted in several big agreements. Saudi Arabia promised to invest almost $1 trillion in the United States. This money will go into infrastructure, technology, and industry, creating jobs and boosting the American economy.

One of the key agreements is about nuclear energy cooperation. The United States and Saudi Arabia signed a deal to work together on civil nuclear energy. They also agreed to collaborate on critical minerals and artificial intelligence. These deals are meant to make both countries leaders in technology and energy.

The two countries also signed a defense agreement. This will make it easier for American defense firms to work in Saudi Arabia. It also means Saudi Arabia will help pay for some of the costs. The agreement includes a deal for Saudi Arabia to buy nearly 300 American tanks. This will help Saudi Arabia build its own defense capabilities and create jobs in the United States.

The state visit was a follow-up to Trump's earlier visit to Riyadh. The agreements made during this visit are expected to bring many benefits to both countries. They will create jobs, boost technology, and strengthen security.
