Trump hosts Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at White House

U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman at the White House on Tuesday evening, welcoming him with full ceremonial honors on the South Lawn.

Trump greeted the Crown Prince on a red carpet as the U.S. military band played the national anthems of both nations. The event included a display of military pageantry, with a cavalry guard presenting the Saudi and American flags.

As the Crown Prince arrived, a formation of American fighter jets flew over the White House in a coordinated salute marking the occasion.

The reception, held under clear evening skies, drew attention for its grandeur. The Saudi delegation joined Trump for official talks following the ceremony inside the White House.
