US President Donald Trump and Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman have discussed opportunities for new economic programs and investments between the two countries during a meeting, the White House says.

During the Tuesday meeting with Prince Mohammed, Trump said he would support development of a new US-Saudi program focused on energy, industry, infrastructure and technology that would provide potentially more than $US200 billion ($A264 billion) in investments in the next four years, the White House said in a statement on Wednesday.

The two leaders also agreed to continue consultations on energy to ensure global economic growth and to limit "supply disruption and volatility".
