President Donald Trump has repeatedly made decisions that appear to side with the royal family of Saudi Arabia. Is the president's deference to the Saudis harmful to America?
A deadly shooting rampage by a Saudi Air Force student at a Florida naval base has drawn attention to President Trump’s relationship with the oil-rich Gulf nation.
Trump’s quick defense of Saudi Arabia is seen by some as part of a pattern in which he has consistently sided with the country during his time in office. The president has repeatedly refused to blame the royal family for the killing of Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi, despite the CIA’s assesment that his murder was ordered by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Trump also said the U.S.
The president’s defenders argue that maintaining a strong relationship with Saudi Arabia is an important part of advancing American interests abroad. Although the U.S. has reduced its reliance on Saudi oil, the health of Saudi Arabia’s fossil fuel industry is crucial to keeping global gas prices down, some argue. The Saudis are also America’s most powerful regional ally against Iran, a nation that is seen as a direct threat to peace in the Middle East.
