President Trump Arrives In Middle East, Gets Epic Surprise

President Donald Trump landed in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday morning, following a spectacular fighter jet escort across the kingdom’s airspace.

Journalists on the presidential plane stated that six Saudi F-15s glided “in close proximity” — three on each side — during the last half-hour of the journey. Trump’s deputy chief of staff, Dan Scavino, tweeted a video of the unusual escort while still in the air.

“Thank you for the escort, and having President Trump’s back—We all appreciate it. See you on the ground shortly, THANK YOU!!!” he wrote on X.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met Trump on the runway as he threw a fist pump. Bin Salman led him down a purple carpet to a conference room where the country’s de facto ruler held a coffee ceremony.

Trump was joined by Cabinet members, such as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

The sidewalks of the hot Saudi capital were adorned with American flags for the visit, while mobile billboards along the route this week advertised the recently announced Disney Abu Dhabi theme park in the adjacent United Arab Emirates.

Trump’s crowded schedule on Tuesday will include a speech to an investment roundtable with tech industry leaders like as Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sam Altman, followed by a state supper.

His three-nation visit to the Middle East, which includes Qatar and the UAE, is anticipated to focus on attracting investment for the United States.
