It's being described as a historic visit. The Saudi's literally 'rolled out the red (and gold) carpet for Trump. Then they honored him with the highest honor, a gold chain and medallion.
The Saudi's were honored that this was Trumps very first stop, as well. He was greeted at the airport, and they were ready with an elaborate ceremony, including a military flyover with jets leaving a red, white, and blue trail, and the history making handshake from King Salman. Even Melania shook his hand.
Consistent with custom for visits from foreign dignitaries visiting Saudi Arabia, Melania did not cover her head. She wore a black pant suit with gold belt, looking very beautiful and elegant, with her hair flowing ...reminiscent of Jackie Kennedy.
The two leaders signed a $110 B arms deal, which even at the last minute was negotiated down a bit by a quick phone call to Lockheed Martin by Jered Kushner in order to 'cinch' the deal.
The two leaders agreed to work together to defeat and destroy the Islamic terror group, ISIS.
What is noteworthy is the rotation by to the Sunnis, away from the Shiites. Both have their radical elements, but interesting no less. President Trump is about economic growth. Inked a deal for military hardware upon touching down.

A little trivia for ya:
Quote:
President Barack Obama's administration brokered more arms sales than any US administration since World War II - estimated at $200bn. They sold Saudi Arabia alone $60bn in arms, which sparked criticism by Democrats concerned with Saudi Arabia's alleged human rights violations.
