(Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump and Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke about the kingdom’s “international economic ambitions” as well as trade and other opportunities in a call on Wednesday, the White House said.
In Trump’s first call with a foreign leader since taking office on Monday, the two also discussed efforts to bring stability to the Middle East, bolster regional security, and combat terrorism, the White House said in a statement on Thursday.
The statement did not mention a $600 billion investment plan that, according to the Saudi State news agency, Bin Salman spoke about with Trump.
