Former President Donald Trump's close ties with Saudi Arabia remain evident, as he openly supported the kingdom's actions and cultivated connections even after leaving office.
As president, Donald Trump made little effort to hide his affinity for Saudi Arabia . In fact, the Republican’s first overseas trip while in office — traditionally, a symbolically significant sojourn — was to Riyadh. When Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman imprisoned other members of the royal family, Trump announced his support for the move. When the Saudis imposed a blockade on U.S. allies in Qatar, Trump endorsed this, too.
” It’s difficult to say with confidence whether the former president was subverting his own country’s foreign policy agenda, though it’s worth emphasizing that Trump appears to have a foreign policy agenda of his own — despite the fact that he’s a private citizen with no official authority. Just last month, for example, the former president welcomed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to Mar-a-Lago, and according to Orbán, the two held private discussions about U.S.
