The relationship of the US and Saudi Arabia: evolution and reasons of wear (DIEEEO114-2016)

Relations between the United States and Saudi Arabian are not at their best moment due to the current situation, where a succession of geostrategic factors and political decisions has deteriorated the friendship between the world hegemonic and the monarchy of petrodollars. In addition, the recent report of the National Commission on the 11S call in question the participation of the Saudi Intelligence.

This article seeks to dissect of the link created more than seventy years ago by both nations, a period in which there have been moments of mutual understanding represented in the brilliance of relations and trade agreements. On the other hand, there have been important differences and periods of crises that somehow have altered the world stage. Finally, we will try to shed some light that can illuminate the current uncertain scene for the future.
