Now to the Middle East because the United States and Saudi Arabia have signed a 142 billion dollar arms deal on the first day of President Trump's tour of the Middle East, his first major trip since he returned to the White House.

現在來看中東，因為美國和沙特阿拉伯在特朗普總統中東之行的第一天就簽署了價值1420億美元的軍火協議，這是他重返白宮後的首次重要出訪。

The President and the Saudi Crown Prince signed an economic partnership between their two countries.

總統和沙特王儲簽署了兩國之間的經濟夥伴關係。

The U.S. will provide war-fighting equipment to Saudi Arabia who will in turn invest 20 billion dollars in artificial intelligence in the U.S.

Well our Chief International Correspondent Lisa Doucette is in Riyadh for us.

我們的首席國際記者麗莎-杜塞特正在利雅得為我們報道。

Well so far on this first stop on President Trump's first official foreign visit there's been a lot of pomp and ceremony and as we've just been seeing a lot of signing of those deals.

到目前為止，特朗普總統首次正式外訪的第一站已經有了很多華麗的儀式，我們剛剛也看到了很多協議的簽署。

Deal making is one of the priorities for President Trump on this visit.

達成協議是特朗普總統此次訪問的優先事項之一。

There's said to be many billions of investment of Saudi money in the United States in sectors ranging from aerospace to artificial intelligence to energy.

據說，從航空航天、人工智能到能源等領域，沙特在美國的投資高達數十億美元。

And Saudi Arabia wants to get something too out of the United States, access to its markets, advance to technology.

沙特阿拉伯也想從美國獲得一些東西，進入美國市場，獲得技術進步。

But of course there's also great symbolism in this visit.

當然，這次訪問也有很大的象徵意義。

It's the second time that Riyadh has been chosen for President Trump's first stop.

這是利雅得第二次被選為特朗普總統的首站。

So how much does it matter to the kingdom?

We're joined here by Ali Shahabi who is a Saudi political analyst.

我們請到了沙特政治分析家阿里-沙哈比（Ali Shahabi）。

感謝您加入我們，阿里-沙哈比。

Twice being chosen for the honor of the first visit.

How much does that matter to the kingdom?

And the U.S. relationship is very important for the kingdom.

與美國的關係對王國來說非常重要。

President chooses the kingdom as his first stop twice is historic really.

總統兩次選擇王國作為首站，這確實具有歷史意義。

And I think it shows the depth of the relationship that exists with America and also with President Trump.

我認為，這顯示了與美國以及與特朗普總統之間關係的深度。

There's a very close relationship between the crown prince and the president.

王儲和總統之間的關係非常密切。

And the relationship between the kingdom and America has gotten very close towards the end of the Biden administration.

在拜登政府任期即將結束時，王國與美國的關係變得非常密切。

And it continued obviously into the Trump administration given that it had been very good with the Trump administration in round one so to speak.

很明顯，這種關係一直延續到特朗普政府，因為在第一輪中，它與特朗普政府的關係可以說非常好。

So what you're seeing now really is a manifestation of the strength of that relationship and an indicator of the number of issues that are being worked on.

是以，你們現在看到的，其實就是這種關係強度的體現，也是正在解決的問題數量的指標。

You know in terms of security, in terms of economics, in terms of technology and in terms of regional politics.

要知道，在安全、經濟、技術和地區政治方面都是如此。

Would it be too cynical to say that it's all about money?

如果說這一切都是為了錢，是不是太憤世嫉俗了？

It came after the crown prince Mohammed bin Salman made it clear that the kingdom was willing to invest $600 billion in the U.S. economy.

此前，王儲穆罕默德-本-薩勒曼明確表示，王國願意向美國經濟投資 6000 億美元。

And now that seems, as President Trump says, it's gone up to a trillion.

而現在，正如特朗普總統所說，似乎已經漲到了一萬億。

我的意思是，這些都是象徵性的數字。

Well they are symbolic because they're an accumulation of investments that have been planned for a while and are planned in the future.

它們具有象徵意義，因為它們是計劃已久的投資的積累，也是未來的計劃。

And there's an element of joint venture investment in the kingdom.

此外，王國還存在合資企業投資的因素。

The kingdom is investing really in industries in America where it can have technology transfer, where it can encourage those companies to come into the kingdom and operate, where it can encourage them to offshore into the kingdom.

王國真正投資的是美國的產業，在那裡可以進行技術轉讓，可以鼓勵這些公司進入王國開展業務，可以鼓勵它們離岸進入王國。

是以，這確實是非常相互關聯的。

It's not pure sort of portfolio investment or pure investment in America that has nothing to do with the kingdom's economy.

這不是純粹的證券投資或純粹的美國投資，與王國經濟無關。

What are the high value items that are at the top of the crown prince's list?

王儲清單上最重要的高價值物品是什麼？

We've heard that they want access to sensitive technology that current American rules don't allow the kingdom access to.

我們聽說，他們希望獲得美國現行規定不允許王國使用的敏感技術。

In AI there's a desire to have access to sensitive technology and we're getting good indications from the Americans that that will be allowed.

在人工智能領域，人們希望獲得敏感技術，而我們從美國人那裡得到的良好跡象表明，這將是允許的。

Obviously there's nuclear technology which again are progressing very well.

Nothing was signed so far but negotiations are ongoing and probably something will be signed towards the end of the year.

到目前為止，雙方尚未簽署任何協議，但談判仍在進行之中，可能會在年底簽署一些協議。

Military support, access to the latest in weaponry in America.

軍事支持，獲得美國最新的武器裝備。

There was a hiatus in the early days of the Biden administration.

拜登政府執政初期曾有過一段間斷。

So there's a bit of a catch-up there to replenish the stocks of the Saudi military.

是以，要補充沙特軍隊的庫存，還得加快腳步。

And the Trump administration has been very supportive of that.

How much is the regional situation, how much does that matter to Saudi leaders?

地區局勢對沙特領導人有多重要？

Will Mohammed bin Salman take this opportunity to press President Trump to do more?

穆罕默德-本-薩勒曼是否會藉此機會向特朗普總統施壓，要求他做得更多？

I mean he will take it personally and Saudi officials have been pressing the American administration on opening up Gaza to aid, on taking off sanctions from Syria.

我的意思是，他會親自處理此事，沙特官員一直在向美國政府施壓，要求開放加沙接受援助，取消對敘利亞的制裁。

Saudi Arabia is also watching with interest the nuclear negotiations.

沙特阿拉伯也在饒有興趣地關注著核談判。

Unlike the Obama administration this administration has kept Saudi Arabia in the loop and briefed them on how the negotiations are going.

與奧巴馬政府不同的是，本屆政府一直與沙特阿拉伯保持聯繫，並向他們通報談判進展情況。

Interestingly the Iranians are doing the same and also briefing Saudi Arabia.

有趣的是，伊朗人也在這樣做，而且還在向沙特阿拉伯通報情況。

So it's a totally different environment now from the time of the JCPOA which was pulled as a surprise really on the countries of the Gulf.

是以，現在的環境與簽署《全面禁止核試驗條約》（JCPOA）時完全不同。

So regional politics are extremely important.

America is a hegemon in the region and we want to retain, you know President Trump has a tendency sometimes to get excited about things and then move on to the next subject.

美國是該地區的霸主，我們希望保留它，你知道特朗普總統有時會對一些事情感到興奮，然後轉到下一個話題。

And I think we want to keep him excited about the region, keep him involved and the fact that he came here is a reassurance that he is interested in the region.

我認為，我們希望讓他對本地區感到興奮，讓他繼續參與其中，而他來到這裡的事實就是對他對本地區感興趣的一種保證。

Stark contrast to the days when President Biden and many other world leaders talked about the journalist Jamal Khashoggi?

與此形成鮮明對比的是，拜登總統和許多其他世界領導人在談到記者賈邁勒-卡舒吉（Jamal Khashoggi）的時候，都在談論 "卡舒吉事件"。

Yes well I think President Biden ended up eating up those words when he came to the kingdom two years after saying that.

是的，我認為拜登總統在說了這番話兩年後，當他來到這個王國時，最終還是把這番話吃透了。

Although he would have raised the issue though.

Well he may have raised the issue but I mean he ended up eating those words frankly and the relationship ended up getting much better towards the end of his term.

他可能提出了這個問題，但我的意思是，坦率地說，他最終還是收回了那些話，而且在他任期結束時，雙方的關係也變得更好了。

Thank you very much for joining us here in Riyadh in the measure of the changing times and it is a time where it is these wealthiest most ambitious Gulf states Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates want to be sitting at the top table and want to be sitting next to President Trump.

非常感謝您在利雅得參加我們的會議，時代在不斷變化，沙特阿拉伯、卡達、阿拉伯聯合酋長國這些最富有、最有野心的海灣國家都希望坐在最高級別的會議桌前，希望坐在特朗普總統身邊。
