このコンテンツについて
Mohammed bin Salman wrapped up what may be the most consequential week of his international rehabilitation tour. The Saudi Crown Prince's first visit to Washington since the 2018 Jamal Khashoggi assassination concluded with what insiders are calling a decidedly mixed bag of victories and stinging defeats. Trump gave him the red carpet treatment—literally rolling it out with horse guards and a flyover—which played brilliantly back home for the Crown Prince's nationalism-focused agenda. Domestically, this symbolism was huge, but the substantive wins tell a more complicated story.
On the plus side, MBS secured what he desperately wanted: advanced semiconductor technology without restrictions, which he believes will be a game-changer for his Vision 2030 economic transformation. He also landed a U.S.-Saudi Strategic Defense Agreement and secured non-NATO ally status, marking the closest written commitment between the two nations in their entire alliance history. The F-35 fighter jet sale was announced, though that victory came with major strings attached.
Here's where things got rocky. According to multiple reports from Israeli media and American officials, Trump pressed MBS hard on Israel normalization during their White House meeting, and the Crown Prince flatly refused to budge. Sources describe the exchange as tense and even heated, with Trump reportedly left disappointed and angry. MBS cited domestic political impossibility given the Gaza conflict's impact on Saudi public opinion, but insiders close to the talks say he left the door slightly open for future discussions once emotions cool.
The $1 trillion investment pledge that dominated headlines appears somewhat inflated. Experts note that MBS carefully linked every dollar to his own economic transformation, not pure American investment, and the actual committed amount is likely several hundred billion rather than the full trillion.
There's also unconfirmed reporting about disagreement on Iranian nuclear enrichment—Trump's team wants zero enrichment from Iran but struggled when the Saudis wanted undefined enrichment capability themselves.
On the Khashoggi front, the Crown Prince faced direct questions and characterized the killing as a huge mistake. Trump rushed to his defense, claiming MBS had no knowledge—a position that contradicts U.S. intelligence assessments.
