The Humiliation of Populism

This time, the U.S. led the effort to 'internationalize' the conflict and add the U.N.’s support and legitimacy to its plan.

The crown prince’s historic visit to the US this week crowned these bilateral relations, elevating Saudi Arabia to the status of a major non-NATO ally and a trusted strategic partner.

And the man behind “Vision 2030” has shown that he is well aware that the U.S. can offer Saudi Arabia what few others can: economically, politically, in defense, in technology, and in artificial intelligence, the new key to progress.

Riyadh's strategy is to maintain the historical relationship with Washington, whether under a Republican or Democratic administration.
