CBSN
President Trump is set to deliver remarks Tuesday at a U.S.-Saudi investment summit and will sign agreements for the Pentagon, Justice Department, FBI and other agencies to cooperate with their Saudi Arabian counterparts.
Mr. Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced multiple economic and defense agreements, an indication of Mr. Trump's intent to deepen U.S.-Saudi ties, despite long-held concerns from State Department reports and human rights groups about its restriction of civil liberties and political rights.
Specifically, the president and crown prince signed agreements for judicial cooperation between the Ministry of Justice in Saudi Arabia and the U.S. Department of Justice, coordination between the Pentagon and Saudi Ministry of Defense for modernization and development of the capabilities of the Saudi armed forces; and an international partnership program between the Saudi Ministry of Interior and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, although the White House has yet to release further details.
