Boeing, Airbus, and Qatar Airways all declined to comment. Riyadh Air confirmed that a \u201cmajor wide-body aircraft procurement campaign is underway,\u201d with a decision expected in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2517\" data-end=\"2894\">The White House is pressuring Gulf nations to increase investments in U.S. infrastructure, energy, defense, and manufacturing, aiming for sums well above the $400 billion committed by Saudi Arabia in 2017.
