The Kingdom is the first partner for the United States in combating terrorism and extremism as well as eradicating ISIS and Al-Qaeda. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is at the forefront of countries addressing the Iranian negative interferences in the regional affairs. This is an important issue for the United States. Therefore, the partnership with the Kingdom is very important," Al-Jubeir said.

So, we are allies with the US administration in these issues,"

The Kingdom has provided the Arab Peace Initiative. The Kingdom has a key role in pushing the peace process forward. The Kingdom has huge investments in the US economy. The Kingdom is a big trading partner with the United States, which means existence of enormous economic and financial interests between the two countries. To achieve the goals set by President Trump, whether in restoring the US role, defeating ISIS, containing Iran, promoting peace or enhancing investment, trade and prosperity, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the key to these issues. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is among the US most important allies in the Arab and Islamic world. The Kingdom is one of the most important international partners with regard to economy, trade and investment.
Al-Jubeir said Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia would include a bilateral summit, a meeting with the GCC leaders and another with leaders of Arab and Islamic countries.
"It's a very clear message to the world that the US and the Arab and Islamic countries can form a partnership," he said.
