RIYADH, 9 hours, 14 minutes ago
US President Donald Trump arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday on a four-day state visit to the Gulf region. He is expected to focus on economic deals and regional security matters.
Saudi Crown Prince HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud welcomed the US President upon arrival in Saudi Arabia.
With a who's who of powerful American business leaders in tow, Trump is visiting Riyadh, site of a Saudi-US Investment Forum, before going to Qatar on Wednesday and the United Arab Emirates on Thursday. He has not scheduled a stop in Israel, a decision that has raised questions about where Israel stands in Washington's priorities, said a Reuters report.
An agreement for Saudi Arabia to buy more than $100 billion of US arms and other military equipment is widely reported to be among the deals Trump is due to announce on this trip, said BBC.
Missiles, radar systems and transport aircraft are reportedly part of the package.
