U.S. President Donald Trump has landed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, kicking off his first major international trip of his second term, APA reports citing CNN.
A royal purple carpet has been rolled out for an official greeting at the Royal Terminal. Trump will be met by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, and the leaders will have a coffee ceremony inside the airport before the president heads to his hotel.
The pomp and circumstance of the official state visit are already on display: the streets of Riyadh on the route from the airport to downtown are decorated with American and Saudi flags commemorating the official state visit. And Saudi F-15 military jets escorted Air Force One in on approach, according to a social media post from Trump deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino and reports from pool reporters traveling with the president.
Later Tuesday, Trump will attend a more formal arrival ceremony with the crown prince, an introduction of the delegations, a lunch with CEOs, bilateral meetings, and an agreement signing of the Royal Court.
He is expected to give remarks at a US-Saudi Investment Forum, and later tour Dir’iyah and At-Turaif UNESCO world heritage site before a dinner with the crown prince.
