Saudi Arabia isn’t the only country to consider infrastructure investment in the U.S. At the end of last year, the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) announced that it would put $10 billion toward U.S. infrastructure initiatives.
The QIA had previously said it would invest $35 billion in this country between 2016 and 2021, so the $10 billion could be a part of that spend. Like the potential $40 billion Saudi Arabia investment, some onlookers said the QIA commitment was a way to strengthen ties with Trump and the U.S.
