During his visit to Saudi Arabia on May 13, 2025, US President Donald Trump was served a cup of Saudi coffee. However, unlike his host, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Trump did not drink the coffee. This unexpected behavior has sparked discussions on social media.
Trump arrived at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other American officials, including Elon Musk, Larry Fink, and Jane Fraser. Upon entering the Royal Terminal, they were both offered a cup of Saudi coffee.
While the crown prince indulged in his cup, Trump merely glanced at it, leading to vast speculation on social media. Some speculated that Trump dislikes the taste of Saudi coffee, while others joked that Trump might not consume anything immediately after waking up.
Interestingly, The New York Times reported that Trump prefers Diet Coke over coffee. It remains unclear whether this preference, or any other reason, influenced Trump's decision not to drink Saudi coffee.
The visit, which also included significant investment commitments and strategic partnerships, marks another milestone in the long-standing relationship between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
