Trump's first call to a foreign leader was with Saudi crown prince
Trump's first call with a foreign leader was with Saudi Arabia's Mohammed bin Salman Al Saudi, the White House confirmed. The conversation happened on Wednesday, with the two leaders discussing conflicts in the Middle East and economic issues.
While speaking to the World Economic Forum on Wednesday, Trump confirmed reports that Saudi Arabia is looking to invest $600 billion in the U.S. over the next four years. He said he would be asking the crown prince to "round it out to around $1 trillion."

He then said he'd be asking the country and OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) to bring down oil prices.
"You got to bring it down, which, frankly, I'm surprised they didn't do before the election. That didn't show a lot of love by them not doing it," he said. "I was a little surprised by that. If the price came down, the Russia-Ukraine war would end immediately. Right now, the price is high enough that that war will continue. You got to bring down the oil price."
