Abstract
The strategic importance of Saudi Arabia to the United States
increased after Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990 -1991. During this crisis,
the relations between both countries developed to include policy, security,
military and economic affairs. The aim of this development was to address
the challenges which emerged as a result of Gulf War. The most prominent
challenge was the confrontation with the radical regional powers that
represented a serious threat for the American interests, as well as, the
safety and stability of Saudi Arabia Kingdom.
This study focuses on the importance attached by the U.S. foreign
policy to Saudi Arabia. It aims to give a future image for this relationship,
building on reading the historical features. The research highlights the
strength of the mutual interests embodied in the U.S-Saudi relation.
Political system analysis approach was used to detect the internal and the
external effects that made U.S and the Saudi governments nurture this
relationship. The researcher used the descriptive-historical methodology in
tracing the trajectory of the USA – Saudi relationship, and the analytical methodology to identify the historical junctures that contributed to this
relationship.
