The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia promised to invest almost $1 trillion in the USA

Saudi Arabia is ready to cross the border of its own ambition — and increase investments to $1 trillion, raising the bar much higher than the initial $600 billion. This statement has already become a global marker that Riyadh is aiming not just for modernization, but for transforming the country into a technological and economic hub of the Persian Gulf.

The basis of future investments is artificial intelligence infrastructure, next-generation energy, high-tech manufacturing, and deep integration with Wall Street. The Crown Prince’s visit to Washington is entirely focused on deals in AI and semiconductors. Mohammed bin Salman openly stated: the demand for computing power is growing, and Saudi Arabia intends to become the regional leader in this race.

Formula for cooperation: chips, clouds, and access to American supply chains

A possible agreement between the countries may include Riyadh’s access to American infrastructure — graphics processors, cloud platforms, accelerated computing systems. And if this package is approved, Saudi Arabia will become one of the key points on the global digital map.

Meanwhile, the White House has temporarily postponed negotiations on normalization with Israel: the current focus is on a defense pact and the development of a civilian nuclear program. Congress continues to discuss the risks associated with the kingdom’s ambitions in uranium enrichment.

May agreements as the foundation of new influence

In May, Washington and Riyadh signed agreements and investment commitments worth $600 billion, including the largest arms sale deal in history — $142 billion. In total, Saudi Arabia already holds defense contracts worth more than $129 billion.

In addition to arms, the countries agreed on joint steps in energy, medicine, technology, infrastructure, and the extraction of critical minerals. All this forms a strategic corridor that strengthens Riyadh’s position not only in the region but also in the global system of influence.

A new landscape of the Persian Gulf

Saudi Arabia is betting on innovation, AI, powerful computing, and the industry of the future. Trillion-dollar initiatives are turning the kingdom into a platform where ambition meets scale, and strategic alliances meet global interests.

This investment leap opens new horizons for the entire region and creates a foundation for transformation that could change the economic map of the Middle East.
