The next parts, which concentrate on the background of US-Arab Gulf ties and Saudi, UAE, and American relations under the Obama, Trump, and Biden governments, paint a complete picture of the extent to which US policy, especially uncertainty, has affected Saudi and UAE foreign policy.
IMPORTANT STATEMENTS TO REMEMBER ABOUT THE NAS SUMMIT IN UAE:
In terms of politics, there are now differences in US policy between supportive of business the Republicans who support large arms sales contracts, Saudi Arabia’s crucial role as an OPEC swing manufacturer, and its financial clout, and Democrats who have a history of being more cautious regarding US arms sales, Middle Eastern conflicts, and human rights.
There is a structural issue with US policy when it comes to Saudi Arabia’s sustained representation of important American objectives or petro-alignment as an OPEC swing producer. The move away from fossil fuels will have a big impact on the future of the US-Saudi relationship, in accordance with Robert Vitalis, who contends that the trade-off of security for oil is based on the delusion of paucity.
Special connections have developed between the US and Saudi Arabia since official bilateral relations were established in 1933 and a Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement was established in 1951 to serve as a bulwark against the Soviet presence in the Arab Gulf.3 They were established thanks to the establishment of the Arabia American Oil Company (Aramco), which from the 1940s onwards proved tactically significant in the quest for oil. They were also established thanks to the way the profits were distributed evenly, which helped Saudi Arabia gain economic dominance.
FINAL RESULT: Political ties increased after President Franklin D. Roosevelt and King had a significant meeting on the Great Bitter Lake in Egypt on February 11, 1945. The main subjects of conversation during this summit included Palestine, the post-war independence of Syria and Lebanon, and the growth of Saudi Arabia’s agricultural sector. 4 Relations would evolve based on shared global interests to challenge Soviet dominance during the Cold War in Afghanistan and the warm oceans of the Gulf and Indian Ocean.
