The US president is flying in to Saudi Arabia for a high profile visit to the region.

It's his first official foreign trip in office - apart from a brief visit to Rome.

For Saudi Arabia, Trump's visit is about strengthening ties with their longest-standing Western ally - a relationship that grew strained during the Biden years.

For President Trump, it is about landing investment deals that can be framed as a win for his economic agenda. So can both sides get what they want?
