Why Saudi Arabia is the venue of choice for Trump talks on Ukraine

The choice of the Trump administration in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as the main talks site for Ukraine confirms to what extent the Kingdom has reached a diplomatic manner from the nearby state of Baria, which became after the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashogji in 2018.

It seems that the shadow that casts throughout the country and its actual leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in particular, has been raised, although there are still concerns about time to time in international forums on the Saudi human rights record.

On many fronts – in entertainment and sports in particular – the country has spent huge sums of money to enhance its aspirations to be a major player on the world stage.

Diplomatic, the Saudi leadership was strengthening its role. During Biden years, the Kingdom has increased its axis away from relying on the United States as its main international ally.

The Saudis have made clear that they will follow what they consider their interests first and foremost – raising closer relations with the countries that are seen as major competitors of the United States, such as Russia and China.

Donald Trump will be welcomed to the White House by the Saudis.

His first foreign visit was in his first term to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – and the nature of his foreign policy is more suitable for the current Saudi leadership.

One of the possible achievements that Mr. Trump wants to be in his record is a peace agreement between the Saudis and Israel – which will be the culmination of Ibrahim’s agreements that he started during his first term.

But the war in Gaza was then exposed to the road and the price that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will demand a peace agreement.

The Saudis were very fast to announce their final rejection of Mr. Trump’s plan for Gaza – to remove and rebuild all Palestinians as a resort.

The Kingdom has pushed an attempt to reach an alternative practical plan with other Arab countries – which you will see that Ghazan is still standing as the pocket is rebuilt and will lead to a state solution to the conflict.

The current thinking of the Trump administration appears to contradict this – in its policy of Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

How will this be the key to dynamics in the advanced relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States.

What is clear is that the Saudis have no intention to intensify their ambition to become a key player in global diplomacy.
