U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to Riyadh on Tuesday highlights efforts to strengthen economic ties with Saudi Arabia amidst paused normalization talks with Israel due to the ongoing Gaza conflict.
President Donald Trump is set to arrive in Riyadh on Tuesday, where he will be met with grand ceremonies and significant investment discussions, yet his long-sought goal of Saudi-Israel normalization remains out of reach. The ongoing war in Gaza has shifted priorities, as Saudi Arabia insists on an immediate ceasefire as a prerequisite for renewed dialogue on normalization.
U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff recently hinted at potential developments in the Abraham Accords, while the visit’s primary focus remains on economic partnerships. Trump aims to secure a $1 trillion investment from Saudi Arabia, building on prior commitments. Meanwhile, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has emphasized the necessity of ending the Gaza conflict and advancing towards a credible Palestinian state before engaging in normalization talks.
As the region grapples with geopolitical complexities, Washington's strategic interests also include countering China's growing influence in the Gulf. Trump's state visit underscores his administration’s intent to solidify alliances and foster economic collaboration despite challenging diplomatic hurdles.
