What happened

President Donald Trump addressed the FII PRIORITY Summit in Miami, carried on the White House channel (uploaded Feb. 20, 2025). He noted, as he stated it, that he was the first American president to address the Future Investment Initiative Institute, and thanked Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and the distinguished guests from the Middle East, in particular the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, singling out FII Institute chairman and Public Investment Fund governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan in the audience.

The President spoke about his Miami ties - Trump Towers in Sunny Isles Beach, the Trump Grande, and the 700-acre Doral, which he called the most successful country club in the United States, noting approval to build 1,500 units there - before turning to the summit’s investment themes.

Why it matters

The Miami address puts the President before the Saudi-backed investment forum’s audience on U.S. soil in his first month: the investment-diplomacy channel this chronicle tracks alongside the formal state visits.
