Turkey’s government is hoping to reach a $6 billion defense deal with Saudi Arabia that could see the kingdom buy warships, tanks and missiles, according to Turkish officials familiar with the matter.

While addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos one day later, Trump said that he will ask MBS, whom he called a “fantastic guy”, to round up the $600bn pledge to “around $1trn”. Trump asserted that the Saudis would do this “because we’ve been very good to them”.

Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed bin Salman told President Donald Trump that he plans to invest $600 billion over the next four years.
