The arrival ceremony was heavy on fanfare, including cannons, a military aircraft flyover, and U.S. and Saudi flags draped on buildings, CBS News reported.

Afterward Trump, 79, and Bin Salman, 40, will meet in the Oval Office to discuss mutual investment and security deals. Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, who has become the face of the Saudi Pro League, also plans to join them, sources told The New York Times.
