Trump loves cheap oil and high-dollar deals. His trip to Saudi Arabia is putting the two on a collision course.

President Donald Trump, speaking to Gulf leaders at the Gulf Cooperation Council, said he wanted to make a deal with Iran and called for adding more countries to the Abraham Accords.

The excitement of Donald Trump’s trip to Saudi Arabia apparently didn’t last long for the 78-year-old president: In fact, the special welcome ceremony appeared to be a snoozer.

The fist bump seems so long ago. Three years after Joe Biden’s cursory greeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Donald Trump luxuriated in an extravagant royal welcome as he arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

For years, the U.S.- Saudi Arabia relationship revolved around oil and defense. But this week’s state visit by President Donald Trump to Riyadh strongly signals a pivot to technology, as the regions find common ground not in petroleum, but in rich wells of investment capital.

The US president gets a "lavender-carpet" reception on a whirlwind visit of Gulf countries mainly focused on shoring up investment.

In a geopolitical chess game with billions at stake, Saudi Arabia, the U.S. and Nvidia all have something to gain.
