Stealth jets, nuclear energy, mutual defense, and a trillion-dollar promise.

Trump and MBS have just sealed a cooperation package that could reshape the global geopolitical balance!

1️⃣ The Crown Prince was received with a red carpet in Washington.

This is his first visit to the US since the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.

Despite the controversies, the meeting with Trump resulted in new defense agreements, plans for civilian nuclear power plants, and—most dramatically—a jump in Saudi investments to $1 trillion.

2️⃣ The detailed agreement:

• Defense: bilateral pact signed • Energy: discussions for cooperation in civilian nuclear programs • Aviation: negotiations for the sale of up to 48 F-35 fighter jets • Investment: increase in the Saudi pledge from US$600 billion to US$1 trillion in the US

3️⃣ That number alone would be noteworthy.

The pledge is equivalent to almost the entire Saudi GDP of 2023 (US$1.07 trillion).

According to the White House, it's a sign of "growing confidence in American leadership under Trump."

But there are no deadlines or sectors specified—it's a political commitment.

4️⃣ The most sensitive point: the F-35 fighter jets

Israel is currently the only country in the Middle East authorized to operate the most advanced jet in the American arsenal.

Releasing F-35s to Saudi Arabia would be a milestone—and also a geopolitical risk.

The IDF has expressed discomfort with the possibility.

5️⃣ Trump, as usual, ignored the warnings.

He said that “both Israel and Saudi Arabia are great allies” and that both deserve “state-of-the-art equipment.”

He was direct: “We will sell the F-35s.”

6️⃣ Congress could block the plan

Even with White House support, the Legislature has the final say — and there are laws that obligate the US to guarantee Israel's qualitative military advantage in the region.

This may require adjustments, longer deadlines, or diplomatic concessions.

7️⃣ Another point of attention: Israel and Saudi Arabia have not yet formally recognized each other.

For many analysts, the sale of F-35s should be conditional on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords.

In other words: normalizing relations with Israel before receiving advanced weaponry.

8️⃣ So the agreement is just theater?

No. But it's not a signed check for $1 trillion either.

There is strategic alignment, political interest on both sides, and clear signs of a lasting partnership.

What's still missing is the operational part: timeline, contracts, and reciprocal obligations.

9️⃣ What this movement reveals

• The US is reaffirming its alliance with Saudi Arabia despite international friction

• Trump signals he is willing to break taboos (such as the informal veto on F-35s) to consolidate influence

• MBS gains international recognition and paves the way to attract more technology and capital
