President Donald Trump landed in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday morning, following a spectacular fighter jet escort across the kingdom’s airspace.
Journalists on the presidential plane stated that six Saudi F-15s glided “in close proximity” — three on each side — during the last half-hour of the journey. Trump’s deputy chief of staff, Dan Scavino, tweeted a video of the unusual escort while still in the air.
“Thank you for the escort, and having President Trump’s back—We all appreciate it. See you on the ground shortly, THANK YOU!!!” he wrote on X.
