Trump Praises The Saudi Crown Prince, Highlights Economic Progress at Investment Forum
President Donald Trump used a speech at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum on Tuesday—initially billed as a major foreign policy address—to focus largely on domestic accomplishments and to deliver glowing praise for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. President Trump commended the Crown Prince for his leadership and friendship. 'He's your greatest representative. And if I didn't like him, I'd be out of here so fast—you know that. He knows me well. I like him a lot. Maybe too much. That's why we give so much—too much. I like you too much,' Trump said during his remarks in Saudi Arabia. The speech marked a stark contrast to the Biden administration's previous stance on Saudi Arabia. Trump, however, praised both the Crown Prince and Saudi Arabia's economic strides. 'For everyone in this room, the days of economic hardship under the last administration are giving way to what may become the greatest economy in world history,' he declared. Addressing Saudi royals and global business leaders, Trump credited MBS with transforming the nation's capital. 'Riyadh is becoming more than just a seat of government—it's emerging as a global center for business, culture, and technology,' Trump said. He concluded with a rhetorical nod to the Prince's ambitions: 'Mohammed, do you sleep at night? How do you sleep?' Trump asked, as the audience applauded. 'Critics once doubted what was possible, but over the past eight years, Saudi Arabia has proven them completely wrong.'
