Former U.S. President Donald Trump enthusiastically embraced Saudi Arabia’s commitment to invest **$600 billion** in the United States, a pledge made by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman[](https://www.scmp.com/news/world/middle-east/article/3310152/trump-starts-middle-east-tour-saudi-arabia-seeking-big-deals "1"). In a characteristic remark, Trump suggested the figure should be **$1 trillion**, underscoring his ambition for even greater economic collaboration[](https://www.scmp.com/news/world/middle-east/article/3310152/trump-starts-middle-east-tour-saudi-arabia-seeking-big-deals "1"). The investment spans multiple sectors, including **defense, technology, and infrastructure**, marking a significant step in U.S.-Saudi relations[](https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/05/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-secures-historic-600-billion-investment-commitment-in-saudi-arabia/ "2").

As for market sentiment—whether this signals a **bullish** or **bearish** outlook—investors may interpret it as **bullish**, given the scale of foreign capital inflow and its potential to stimulate economic growth[](https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/05/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-secures-historic-600-billion-investment-commitment-in-saudi-arabia/ "2"). However, geopolitical factors and execution risks could influence how markets react in the long term. $TRUMP $MUBARAK
