U.S. President Donald Trump has returned from a high-profile four-day tour of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations with more than $2 trillion in business and investment agreements secured, according to the White House.
In a statement issued following the conclusion of the visit, the White House described the trip as a “huge success,” citing sweeping economic deals with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. The agreements, it said, represent one of the largest collections of international commitments ever made during a U.S. presidential visit.
The breakdown of the deals includes a $600 billion investment pledge from Saudi Arabia, a $1.2 trillion economic exchange agreement with Qatar, and $243.5 billion in commercial and defense deals between the United States and Qatar. Additionally, $200 billion in U.S.-UAE commercial deals were finalized during the tour.
“President Trump’s historic collaboration with these Middle Eastern nations not only strengthens America’s economy but also fosters greater safety and stability in the region, paving the way for a more prosperous and secure future,” the White House said.
Officials added that the wide-ranging agreements span multiple sectors, including energy, defense, infrastructure, and technology, reflecting the deepening of strategic ties between the United States and its regional partners.
While further details about specific projects are yet to be released, the overall value of the commitments underscores the administration’s focus on economic diplomacy and its push to bolster U.S. global trade influence.
The tour, which included meetings with senior leadership in all three countries, is being hailed by administration officials as a cornerstone in building a new era of cooperation with key allies in the Gulf.
Economic analysts noted that the announced deals could have long-term implications for both domestic job creation and regional stability. The White House also indicated that these agreements are expected to lead to sustained engagement on both economic and security fronts.
President Trump’s visit is seen as a bold demonstration of the administration’s intent to reaffirm and expand its influence in the Middle East through strong economic partnerships, at a time of growing global competition and regional complexity.
