Trump has revealed that he has secured approval from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for a $1 trillion investment in American companies over four years. This massive figure reflects the level of extortion the former U.S. president continues to exert on the kingdom.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"696\" data-end=\"1000\">Trump, who has long boasted about &#8220;milking&#8221; Saudi Arabia, did not hide his satisfaction with the deal, stating that this sum is &#8220;meager compared to what Riyadh possesses.&#8221; He reminded the world that it was he who provided protection for the Saudi regime and, therefore, deserves such a generous reward.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11438\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11438\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11438 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/6-2.jpg\" alt=\"Trump\u2019s Strategy: Pay-for-Protection and Saudi Relations\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/6-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/6-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/6-2-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11438\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Donald Trump Saudi Arabia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"66\"><strong data-start=\"4\" data-end=\"64\">Trump\u2019s Strategy: Pay-for-Protection and Saudi Relations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1002\" data-end=\"1233\">Trump\u2019s remarks bring back the theory of \u201cpay-for-protection,\u201d which he used during his first presidential term when he explicitly stated: \u201cWithout the United States, some regimes in the region wouldn\u2019t last more than two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1235\" data-end=\"1758\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/01\/26\/trumps-billion-dollar-demands-saudi-arabia-under-pressure-for-strategic-cooperation\/\">Trump<\/a> has scheduled the visit for the coming spring, making Riyadh his first foreign destination\u2014just as he did in his first term when he landed in the kingdom, performed the traditional Saudi sword dance, and returned with arms deals and investment contracts worth $450 billion. However, today\u2019s circumstances are different; Bin Salman is no longer just a young crown prince seeking power but has become the kingdom\u2019s de facto ruler, with expectations that he may be officially declared king before his father\u2019s passing.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5413\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5413\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5413 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Israeli-slap-to-Riyadh-after-Saudi-promotion-of-normalization-through-the-two-state-solution-gateway-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Saudi-Israel Normalization and U.S. Influence\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Israeli-slap-to-Riyadh-after-Saudi-promotion-of-normalization-through-the-two-state-solution-gateway-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Israeli-slap-to-Riyadh-after-Saudi-promotion-of-normalization-through-the-two-state-solution-gateway-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Israeli-slap-to-Riyadh-after-Saudi-promotion-of-normalization-through-the-two-state-solution-gateway-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Israeli-slap-to-Riyadh-after-Saudi-promotion-of-normalization-through-the-two-state-solution-gateway-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Israeli-slap-to-Riyadh-after-Saudi-promotion-of-normalization-through-the-two-state-solution-gateway-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Israeli-slap-to-Riyadh-after-Saudi-promotion-of-normalization-through-the-two-state-solution-gateway.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5413\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Israel relation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"1235\" data-end=\"1758\">Saudi-Israel Normalization and U.S. Influence<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1760\" data-end=\"2179\">Simultaneously, Riyadh is working to strengthen normalization agreements with Israel\u2014an initiative that Trump laid the groundwork for in the Saudi-American &#8220;Vision 2030&#8221; agreements.
