Saudi Arabia is seeking a defense pact requiring the US to defend the Islamic kingdom if it is attacked
[Daily Mail, where America get its news]
  • Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Joe Biden first discussed the potential agreement on the president's visit to the Gulf in July 2022

  • In return for the protection of America's military, Saudi would agree to softening relations with Israel - even if Jerusalem refuses to grant freedoms to Palestinians

  • The pact is likely to fall short of the NATO-style guarantee but could mirror similar arrangements with Bahrain - where the US Navy Fifth Fleet is based
