Trump had arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday – the first stop of a tour of the Gulf that will take him to Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

Speaking at the Saudi-US Investment Forum earlier, he hailed the partnership between Riyadh and Washington, saying their relationship "has been a bedrock of security and prosperity."
