Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – President Donald Trump touched down in Saudi Arabia on May 13, 2025, escorted by a dramatic display of military might.

As Air Force One entered Saudi airspace, at least three Royal Saudi Air Force F-15SA fighter jets flanked the aircraft.

Dan Scavino, assistant to the president, shared video footage showing the sleek jets flying in tight formation outside the window.

Trump arrived at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, where he was greeted by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The two held a brief meeting at the airport, joined by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The visit is the first stop on Trump’s four-day Middle East tour.

The day before, on May 12, Trump was filmed at Joint Base Andrews, boarding Air Force One after arriving on Marine One.
