The Guardian reported; Bin Salman gambles on “Trump return”
Referring to Riyadh’s investment in a company, the British newspaper reported on bin Salman’s gamble on Trump’s return.
Julian Berger, editor-in-chief of the Guardian’s World Service, published a note on the current state of Saudi Arabia’s relations with the United States, and in particular Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman with US President Joe Biden.
According to the senior British journalist based in Washington, DC, it seems that Saudi Arabia has “bet” and gambled on the return of former US President Donald Trump to power.
“Saudi Arabia appears to be refusing to help the United States punish Russia for invading Ukraine and investing $ 2 billion in a new investment fund run by Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kouchner, on Donald Trump’s return to power,” Julian Berger wrote. “It invests.”
“In trying to persuade Riyadh to increase oil production in order to reduce prices by up to 30 percent and thus limit the Russian government’s revenue, the Biden government is looking for ways to reassure the Saudi government of its commitment to monarchical security,” the memo said. ».
The White House reiterated President Biden’s “iron commitment to Saudi Arabia” last Thursday, and the Pentagon is reportedly working on a draft new statement on US-Saudi security arrangements, according to the senior British journalist.
According to Julian Berger, Mohammed bin Salman, the real ruler of the kingdom (Saudi Arabia), reportedly refused to answer Biden’s call last month and expressed his dissatisfaction with the following; “(Biden)’s government’s restrictions on arms sales, what he (bin Salman) saw as an inadequate US response to Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia in Yemen, the publication of a report on the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, a political opponent and Washington Post columnist by the Saudi regime; “And Biden’s previous refusal to have a face-to-face conversation with the Crown Prince.”
The article goes on to emphasize the “betting” of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Donald Trump’s return to the US presidency, and recalls the deep ties between the two during Trump’s presidency.
