The last few days have highlighted the increasingly tight relationship between the Trump administration and Saudi Arabia.
The choice of Saudi Arabia to host the Russian-American negotiations yesterday is no coincidence. The expected summit in Saudi Arabia between Trump and Putin is also no coincidence and it establishes Saudi Arabia's international status, and as we know, status and ego in this region of the world are important...
In addition, today an important investment conference begins in Miami, initiated by the Saudi Investment Fund. The main speaker at the event will be Trump himself. During the conference, announcements are expected about huge Saudi investments in the US – exactly what Trump expects from the Saudis.
This tightening relationship is expected to affect what is happening in our region. The Saudis are not satisfied with Trump’s evacuation plan for the residents of Gaza and they are trying together with Egypt to present him with an alternative.
