Riyadh sees renewed opportunity for closer U.S. ties under possible Trump leadership.
Saudi Arabia is reportedly looking to negotiate a defense agreement with the United States in the event of
Donald Trump’s return to the presidency.
Officials familiar with the matter suggest the kingdom views a Trump-led administration as more likely to grant favorable terms for military cooperation.
The potential pact underscores Saudi Arabia’s ongoing efforts to secure long-term security guarantees amid shifting U.S. foreign policy priorities.
