Trump, Saudi Arabia's Mohammed bin Salman to meet Nov. 18
Riyadh -- US President Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman plan to meet at the White House on November 18 to discuss new defense and intelligence agreements between Washington and Riyadh.
US President Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman plan to meet at the White House on November 18, CBS News said on Tuesday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The visit would mark the first time he has visited Washington since Trump won a second term.
The two are also likely to discuss deals made in May, as well as military cooperation and intelligence sharing between the two countries, CBS reported.
There is likely to be a signing of the deals during the visit, but details are still in flux, two sources told CBS.
While the Saudi crown prince has not visited the White House in over seven years, he met with Trump during the latter's four-day Middle East trip earlier this month.
Saudi Arabia has signalled that it would like to sign a defense pact with Washington, similar to the one the US recently signed with Qatar, pledging that an armed attack on the Gulf state would be treated as a threat to the US, resulting in being defended by the US military.
