Donald Trump arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday on the first leg of a Gulf tour that will also take him to Qatar and the United Arab Emirates as he looks to seal huge deals for the US.
The trip marks the US president's first major visit abroad of his second term, with the White House saying he looked forward to a 'historic return' to the region.
Images from Tuesday morning show the US President shaking hands with Saudi Arabia's crown prince Mohammed bin Salman upon his arrival in Riyadh.
The focus during the tour of the Gulf will likely be locking down business agreements and Trump will take part in a summit of Gulf Arab leaders Tuesday before heading to Qatar.
'White House sources have indicated that the president will focus on 'deals',' wrote Daniel B. Shapiro, a distinguished fellow with the Atlantic Council's Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative.
