Washington, 19th November 2025
President Donald J Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia finalised a wide-ranging set of agreements aimed at expanding bilateral cooperation across defence, energy, technology, and trade, while increasing Saudi Arabia's total investment commitments in the United States to nearly USD 1 trillion.
The White House described the agreement as a major step that will deepen the U.S.-Saudi strategic partnership, expand opportunities for high-paying American jobs, strengthen critical supply chains, and reinforce regional stability—all while putting American workers, industry, and security first.
These agreements build directly on the President’s highly successful May visit to Riyadh and the USD 600 billion in Saudi investment commitments secured for the United States at that time, the White House statement said on Tuesday.
In a major expansion of this partnership, the Crown Prince announced today that Saudi Arabia will be increasing their investment commitments in the United States to almost USD 1 trillion, reflecting deepening trust and momentum for the United States under President Trump’s leadership.
Key achievements include the Civil Nuclear Cooperation Agreement, advancements in critical minerals cooperation, and an AI Memorandum of Understanding—all of which underscore the United States’ commitment to securing deals that directly benefit the American people.
These agreements demonstrate the Trump Administration’s “America First” approach, reinforcing the United States as a leader on the world stage while securing our economic future.
Through deals reached today with Saudi Arabia, President Trump is positioning America as a leader in energy and advanced technology while ensuring our supply chains remain resilient.
The United States and Saudi Arabia signed a Joint Declaration on the Completion of Negotiations on Civil Nuclear Energy Cooperation, which builds the legal foundation for a decades-long, multi-billion-dollar nuclear energy partnership with the Kingdom; confirms that the United States and American companies will be the Kingdom’s civil nuclear cooperation partners of choice; and ensures that all cooperation will be conducted in a manner consistent with strong nonproliferation standards.
The United States and Saudi Arabia also signed a Critical Minerals Framework, deepening collaboration and aligning our national strategies to diversify critical mineral supply chains. This agreement builds on similar deals President Trump secured with other trading partners to safeguard America’s supply chain resilience for essential minerals.
The United States and Saudi Arabia signed a landmark AI Memorandum of Understanding that gives the Kingdom access to world-leading American systems while protecting U.S. technology from foreign influence, ensuring that American innovators will shape the future of global AI.
President Trump is advancing U.S. national security by forging agreements that enhance regional deterrence, grow the American industrial base, and ensure that partners like Saudi Arabia shoulder more responsibility for countering shared threats.
President Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman signed the U.S.-Saudi Strategic Defence Agreement (SDA), a historic agreement that strengthens our more than 80-year defence partnership and fortifies deterrence across the Middle East.
The SDA is a win for the America First agenda, making it easier for U.S. defence firms to operate in Saudi Arabia, securing new burden-sharing funds from Saudi Arabia to defray U.S. costs, and affirming that the Kingdom views the United States as its primary strategic partner.
The President secured agreements reinforcing America’s role as a regional security enabler, enhancing our U.S. military partnerships to better allow partners to deter and defeat threats.
President Trump approved a major defence sale package, including future F-35 deliveries, which strengthens the U.S. defence industrial base and ensures Saudi Arabia continues to buy American.
The President secured an agreement for Saudi Arabia to purchase nearly 300 American tanks, enabling Saudi Arabia to build up its own defence capabilities and safeguarding hundreds of American jobs.
President Trump is unlocking unprecedented opportunities for U.S. businesses, exporters, and workers by expanding market access, reducing barriers, and channelling massive Saudi investments into American innovation and infrastructure.
Saudi Arabia’s nearly USD 1 trillion investment commitment into U.S. infrastructure, technology, and industry—rising from the $600 billion initially secured during the President’s May visit and now expanded this week—will flow directly into American communities.
The United States and Saudi Arabia have agreed to intensify their engagement in the coming weeks on trade issues of mutual interest, including in areas related to reducing non-tariff barriers, recognition of standards, and improving the investment environment.
A concrete example of this engagement includes the recently signed agreement to ensure recognition by Saudi Arabia that motor vehicles and parts complying with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) meet its motor vehicle safety requirements.
The United States and Saudi Arabia also reiterate the importance of the existing Trade and Investment Framework Agreement, and intend to use this mechanism for their intensified engagement to support the goal of facilitating bilateral trade.
The Treasury Department and the Saudi Ministry of Finance signed agreements to enhance collaboration on capital markets technology, standards, and regulations, and deepen their partnership in international financial institutions.
The United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia advanced new investment opportunities that will expand U.S. exports and reduce trade barriers—direct wins for American manufacturers.
Combined with the critical minerals, nuclear, AI, and defence initiatives announced, these deals will create high-paying American jobs, boost U.S. technological leadership, and deliver massive returns for American workers and families for decades to come.
