The deal includes a $142 billion defense agreement providing Saudi Arabia with advanced war equipment from multiple U.S. defense firms, alongside investments in energy security, technology, infrastructure, and critical minerals. Key components include Saudi company DataVolt's $20 billion investment in AI data centers and energy infrastructure in the U.S., and commitments from major tech firms like Google, Oracle, and Salesforce totaling $80 billion across both nations.
