Saudi Arabia is a formidable diplomatic power.
The Kingdom just secured President Trump’s first overseas visit in his second term. Trump can see anyone, anywhere, at anytime. He chose MBS.
Riyadh is leading talks between U.S. and Russian officials on Ukraine. Next week it welcomes President Zelenskyy - in the middle of Ramadan.
The Gulf is once again a priority in U.S. foreign policy because it is a region on the rise. The economic clout, strategic location, and pragmatic diplomatic agility of leaders here (UAE, Jordan, Qatar +) are an asset to Western and Eastern powers.
If you haven’t been paying attention - it’s time.
