President Donald Trump has said the US has "no stronger partner" than Saudi Arabia during his first major foreign trip - a whirlwind visit of Gulf countries mainly focused on shoring up investment.
Speaking in Riyadh, the US president also pledged to lift all sanctions against Syria, saying it was now time for the country to move forward with "a chance at greatness".
Day one of the tour saw the US and Saudi Arabia announce a $142bn (£107bn) arms deal, as well as other investments that the country's crown prince said could eventually be worth $1tn.
Trump also made Saudi Arabia the first foreign stop during his first term, in 2017. The rest of his trip will include stops in Qatar and the UAE.

Iran loses another proxy. It’s all about isolating them. They’ve lost every proxy now.
Yes also the guy who took over hasn’t imposed sharia law or anything crazy
Trump will know more than us on it so they might be worthy of this
Hezbollah would have been able to shore up the front lines in Syria.
I don't get this. Syria? Greatness? Not with the mess they have now.... or for the last seventy years.
Another surprise for Bibi?
What?
Since when do we have a Syria solution?
That’s one big sh*thole, what do we have to gain?
“Yes also the guy who took over hasn’t imposed sharia law or anything crazy”
Yeah, he’s one of those nice ISIS/Al Qeida Wahabbist Saudis. He insists that the beheading happen quickly... and no gratuitous insults before hand.
It’s a kinder gentler ISIS leader.
” the US president also pledged to lift all sanctions against Syria, saying it was now time for the country to move forward with “a chance at greatness”.”
A shameful moment in our history. We replaced secular Assad, the most liberal (in the classic sense) Arab leader with an honest to God ISIS man. We dropped the 10 million reward on his head.
Just shameful.
... and Turkey’s Erdogan is looking to expand into Syria.
One good deal after another!
“That’s one big sh*thole, what do we have to gain?”
We’ll have to get Snake Pliskin’s report on Syria before we can set a strategy.
