The united states and saudi arabia : troubled times ahead?
historically allies for two reasons
Oil and Financial interests
Saudi arabia >< Communism during Cold War
Murder of Khashoggi , opponent of MBS
Republican Senator : Accused MBS of the assassination and Calling for the MBS replacement
Saudi Arabia : premeditation of the murder ( but MBS not)
important to know :
Congres much important than trump in the relations between US and SA
Can go beyond trump's veto
powerfull lobbies
But in 2018 the Congress forced trump to
withdraw US forces in Yemen
Recognize guilty of MBS for Khashoggi
For trump, those relations =
benefits from arms purchases
good foreign Policy achievement
Saudi participation in the anti-Iran axis
links with course
relations not Always good
11 september
funded terrorism ( with money)
Still allies for oil
Future relations?
US : 1 Producer of oïl ( Saudi arabia was 1 before)
SA : VISION 2030 for MBS ( end of the oïl dependence)
