Trump Cites $600 Billion in Saudi Deals, but Real Figure Appears Lower

The White House claimed President Trump secured $600 billion in deals during his time in Saudi Arabia, but subsequent details revealed only about $250-300 billion was finalized. The administration provided vague figures and included projects already under discussion before Trump's first year in office. During a speech at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum, Trump humorously compared Saudi Arabia to the United States as the "hottest" country but emphasized the US's strong economy.
