In a dramatic foreign policy move on May 14, 2025, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a sweeping economic and defense agreement with Saudi Arabia valued at more than $742 billion. The historic deal—revealed during his diplomatic tour of Riyadh—is being described as a cornerstone of Trump’s “Middle East Reset.”
The mega-deal comprises two primary components: a $142 billion arms package and a $600 billion joint investment initiative spanning technology, infrastructure, and clean energy.
This marks one of the largest arms transactions in U.S. history, bolstering Saudi Arabia’s defense posture amid ongoing regional tensions with Iran and Yemen.
The tech-heavy alliance reflects a mutual ambition to modernize infrastructure and reduce dependency on oil—a goal long championed by Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030.
Adding a layer of geopolitical complexity, Trump also lifted all U.S. sanctions on Syria during the visit. The move has stunned diplomats and angered human rights organizations, who argue it rewards authoritarian regimes.
While Wall Street reacted positively to the business potential, criticism poured in from civil liberties groups, foreign policy experts, and lawmakers:
This landmark deal underscores Trump’s ambition to reassert U.S. influence in the Middle East, challenge China’s foothold, and forge an era of “economic alliances over endless wars.” Whether it will lead to stability or fuel new tensions remains to be seen.
