Few alliances in modern geopolitics are as controversial or consequential as the one between the US and [Saudi Arabia](https://inews.co.uk/topic/saudi-arabia?srsltid=AfmBOoprf_SfeaqTCQfsl6f-M_Mi2tJZ121bvh6kZtRyMc4CGeLEPfxq&ico=in-line_link). Under [Donald Trump](https://inews.co.uk/topic/donald-trump?srsltid=AfmBOoo0TavYuM_VZajAJTDuqjrJZsSBbeO8idJzg2hTy20qzOJat9Ww&ico=in-line_link), this relationship has evolved into an unabashedly transactional partnership, breaking with past traditions and reshaping American foreign policy priorities.
From record-breaking arms deals to strategic manoeuvring in the Middle East, the stakes in Trump’s second term are higher than ever.
As Riyadh and Washington navigate mutual interests and some deep-seated tensions, the question remains: What will Trump and [Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) ](https://inews.co.uk/topic/mohammed-bin-salman?srsltid=AfmBOoqieXnAi_Qq5xew9wl7O_74JGLXFNk1hQUstzADLMvYhX8lkWFD&ico=in-line_link)truly achieve for each other?
Joe Biden’s approach toward Saudi Arabia has pushed them closer to Iran and China, it will be interesting to see if Trump can reverse this.
