Trump says that the Saudi crown prince wants normalization with Israel on the condition of establishing a Palestinian state.

U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman at the White House, who is visiting Washington as part of an official work visit in response to an invitation from the U.S. president and based on the directives of Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz. The first images of the arrival moments showed the U.S. president accompanying the Crown Prince on a tour of the White House.
Trump stated that he had discussions with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman regarding the "Abraham Accords," which aim to normalize relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, and noted that he received a positive response. He added that Saudi Arabia wishes to be part of these accords but requires a clear path towards a two-state solution.
During their meeting in the Oval Office, Trump announced that the United States had reached a defense agreement with the Kingdom, indicating that Washington would sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia as part of a deal similar to that made with Israel. He stated, "I believe that Saudi Arabia and Israel, by virtue of their close alliance, are at a level that allows them to obtain the best F-35s."
For his part, Trump said that the Kingdom agreed to inject $600 billion in investments into the United States, commenting that "if I were to prepare that for a billion dollars, the figure could rise to a trillion dollars." Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman responded by confirming that his country intends to increase its investments to a trillion dollars.

During their meeting in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump responded to questions about the families of the victims of the September 11 attacks, who expressed anger over the visit and over Khashoggi, saying about the murdered journalist and Mohammed bin Salman: "Things happen, but he knew nothing about them, and we can leave it at that."
Shortly before that, Trump welcomed him at the White House with a lavish arrival ceremony, where Saudi flags were raised alongside American flags, a red carpet was laid out, and a cavalry band and military honor guard were present.
Cannons were fired in the background, and military aircraft flew over the area, including three F-35 fighter jets and three F-16 fighter jets. Trump and Mohammed bin Salman shook hands and smiled for the cameras before entering their bilateral meeting. Trump denies any conflict of interest.
When Mary Bruce, the chief White House correspondent for ABC News, asked the two men about Khashoggi's murder and the anger expressed by the families of the September 11 victims regarding Mohammed bin Salman's visit to the Oval Office, Trump angrily defended the prince, telling Bruce: "There’s no need to embarrass our guest with such a question." Trump said of the prince: "As for this man, he has done a great job." He added, referring to Khashoggi: "You’re mentioning a very controversial person. Many people were not impressed with this man you’re talking about, whether you like it or not, things happen, but he knew nothing about them, and we can leave it at that."
The Crown Prince previously denied issuing an order to kill Khashoggi, but ultimately acknowledged his responsibility as the de facto ruler of the Kingdom. In 2021, a report concluded that bin Salman approved an operation in Istanbul, Turkey, to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. It added: "The Crown Prince considered Khashoggi a threat to the Kingdom and widely supported the use of violent measures if necessary to silence him."
The Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman addressed the events of September 11 and the Khashoggi case.
He said: "I feel pain for the families of the September 11 victims in America, but we must focus on reality."
The prince stated that Osama bin Laden exploited Saudis to destroy the relationship between the Kingdom and the United States.
He said: "We are working hard to prove [bin Laden] wrong and continue to develop our homeland. This is crucial for the safety of the world."
Mohammed bin Salman said about the "journalist" that "it is truly painful to hear that anyone loses their life without real intent."
He said: "It has been painful for us in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We have taken all the right steps, from investigations and so on, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and improved our system to ensure that this does not happen again. It is painful, it is a grave mistake. We are doing our utmost to ensure that this does not happen again."
Just before that conversation, Bruce asked Trump whether there was a conflict of interest with his family conducting business in Saudi Arabia during his presidency, as the Trump Organization has several active projects in the Kingdom.
Last month, the Trump Organization also announced plans to build "Trump Plaza" in Saudi Arabia, featuring "a vibrant green corridor inspired by Central Park, bringing the Manhattan style to the heart of Jeddah."
Trump insisted that he
