Trump landed at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, shortly before 10 a.m. local time (3 a.m. ET), beginning his visit to the kingdom and the first planned trip of his second term.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman greeted Trump and escorted him to a coffee ceremony.
This is the second time Trump has chosen Saudi Arabia for his first planned overseas trip as U.S. president, and bin Salman was also the first foreign leader to hold a call with Trump this term.
Trump will later travel to the Royal Court for an arrival ceremony with bin Salman, an introduction of the delegations, a coffee service in the ceremonial blue room, a lunch with business leaders, bilateral meetings and an agreement signing.
The four-day Middle East trip will also take Trump to Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
