Saudi Crown Prince MBS courts Donald Trump with a lavish royal welcome

President Donald Trump received the royal welcome in Saudi Arabia, his first major overseas trip of his second term. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud gave Trump the kind of reception the president adores - an elaborate ceremony featuring military might, escorts on horse back for the Beast, and a royal purple carpet. The national anthems of both nations played. Trump, in a purple tie for the occasion, chatted amiably with MBS, as the Saudi Crown Prince is known. Formal introductions were made of the delegations and an elaborate coffee and tea ceremony took place.
