When U.S. President Donald Trump landed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Tuesday morning to kick off a four-day tour of the Middle East, he brought a large delegation that included senior figures from his administration and the business world.
Trump was greeted with all the pomp of a royal welcome as he was met by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman while disembarking from Air Force One to the sound of fanfare.
Among the top Trump Administration officials who joined the trip were Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and Secretary of Energy Chris Wright.
Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of Tesla and SpaceX, who has been advising the White House on federal spending cuts, was also there.
Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang were also among the many guests from the business world in Saudi.
This is a developing article and more information will be added soon.
