Betting Trump sees the Saudi crown prince again pays 43%
Donald Trump has met ten world leaders face to face this year and Saudi Arabia's crown prince is not among them
At the start of August, Saudi Arabia's crown prince Mohammed bin Salman telephoned Donald Trump and asked him to choose talking over striking Iran. Polymarket runs a market on who Trump meets in 2026, and, of course, a call does not count. Betting that the two men are in the same room before December 31 costs 70 cents and pays 43% in 146 days.
10 names on that board have already paid out, including Xi Jinping, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Friedrich Merz. Mohammed bin Salman, who runs Saudi Arabia day-to-day, is the most expensive name still unsettled.
It's quite strange they have not met for a long time, considering how many deals they made together.
- Trump approved the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia in March
- The two countries signed a civil nuclear agreement on July 22, at the level of energy ministers rather than leaders
- Saudi Arabia pledged around $1 trillion of American investment at a Washington forum in November 2025
- The crown prince's brother, Saudi Arabia's defense minister, met Trump at the White House in late July
- Trump is hosting the G20 at his own resort in Miami on December 14 and 15, and Saudi Arabia is a member
