The two leaders have also met a long list of major US business executives who are also in Riyadh for a Saudi-US investment forum.
Trump is expected to focus on securing major financial investments for the United States and making diplomatic inroads on regional issues.
The White House says Trump is making a “historic return to the Middle East”, the first official state visit of his second presidency, where he will concentrate on “strengthening ties“.
