Lauren Hirsch reports:
For years, U.S. executives have traveled to Saudi Arabia in hopes of tapping its deep wealth to fund their businesses and investment firms. But those visits were sometimes done stealthily and often with little fanfare, particularly after agents of the kingdom killed Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist and Saudi critic, in 2018.
But on Wednesday, some of America’s most prominent executives strolled the red-carpeted interior of the Kennedy Center in Washington reveling in all things Saudi.
At an event billed as the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum, the corporate leaders mingling and applauding speeches by President Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman included Marc Benioff, the chief executive of Salesforce; Jensen Huang, the chief executive of Nvidia; Dina Powell, the vice chair of BDT & MSD Partners and a former Goldman Sachs executive; and Alex Karp, the chief executive of Palantir.
