このコンテンツについて
Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince, has dominated headlines in the past few days with his high-profile visit to Washington, D.C. This marks his first White House trip since 2018 and sets the stage for intense diplomatic and business activity. According to NPR and the Washington Institute, the visit is all about solidifying the US-Saudi relationship, with President Trump hosting MbS for an “official working visit”—primarily focused on business, expanded security cooperation, and economic investments. On the agenda, there’s a potential executive agreement deepening the historic defense partnership and follow-through on the massive $142 billion arms package announced last May. If finalized, the sale of F-35 fighter jets would make headlines as a first for any Arab country and raise questions about maintaining Israel’s military edge.
Business-wise, the visit is also timed with a major investment conference in Washington. Riyadh’s delegation includes top figures from its Public Investment Fund and aims to push forward with promises to invest up to $1 trillion into the US economy—a direct outcome of Trump’s earlier trip to the Gulf. Faces from Wall Street and Silicon Valley, as well as Chinese Vice President Han Zheng, have recently flocked to related events in Riyadh, underscoring the kingdom’s aim to position itself as both an economic and geopolitical middle power.
Social media buzz continues, but not always favorably. Amnesty International and the Foley Foundation spotlighted the case of Saad Almadi, a dual US-Saudi citizen detained for years over innocuous tweets—which re-ignited debate on Saudi Arabia’s approach to dissent. The upcoming summit has advocacy groups demanding Trump press MbS for immediate prisoner releases and substantive human rights reforms. According to Military.com, the family's campaign included direct outreach to Trump’s advisers and even a promise that the visit might be scuttled if Almadi wasn’t released, though so far that’s unconfirmed. The Khashoggi case still casts a shadow, with public scrutiny on MbS’s record and reform promises.
Regionally, the White House meeting comes as the Middle East reshuffles—Saudi influence is surging in Syria, Gaza, and normalization talk with Israel is hot. FDD reports that some $600 billion in deals from earlier this year are now close to completion, cementing Saudi Arabia’s role as a global investment powerhouse.
In terms of long-term biographical impact: this week shows MbS pursuing realpolitik—making security deals, flexing investment muscle, balancing ties with Washington, Beijing, and Moscow, and managing criticism back home and abroad. US Congress members and human rights groups remain vocal, making this a pivotal moment for the Crown Prince’s global image.
