According to Trump Jr., his company has developed a keen understanding of the investment landscape and has an "understanding" of his father's plans for economic growth and development.By championing "patriotic capitalism," Trump Jr. appears to be signaling a shift away from traditional laissez-faire economic policies, instead advocating for a more interventionist approach that prioritizes national interests. This approach has been met with interest from Saudi Arabia, a country that has been seeking to diversify its economy and reduce its dependence on oil exports.The summit provided a platform for Trump Jr. to showcase his vision for a more nationally focused economic strategy, one that could potentially shape the future of US-Saudi economic relations.
