Earlier Saturday, King Salman presented President Trump with the kingdom’s highest civilian honor during a meeting at the Royal Court in the Saudi capital of Riyadh.
After Trump and others entered the court to the music of bagpipes, King Salman decorated him with the gold King Abdulaziz al-Saud Medal.
Trump arrived in Riyadh Saturday to begin his first foreign trip as president.
The president and his wife, Melania, were greeted at the airport by King Salman. The king and the Trumps walked along the red carpet into the Royal Hall, a terminal at the airport, where they talked briefly. Minutes later, the Trumps, along with the Saudi king departed the airport in a motorcade, heading to the city along a route with deserted streets.
