Trump arrives in Saudi Arabia to lavish reception

# US president Donald Trump enjoyed a royal welcome in Saudi Arabia today on the first state visit of his second term, during which he will focus foremost on business deals at the start of a Gulf tour. Fighter jets escorted Air Force One before long-stretching honour guards awaited him at the airport and a palace decked out with imposing chandeliers. A lengthy procession of Saudi royalty and business figures waited their turn to shake hands with Trump and the kingdom’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
