To achieve the goals set by President Trump, whether in restoring the US role, defeating ISIS, containing Iran, promoting peace or enhancing investment, trade and prosperity, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the key to these issues. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is among the US most important allies in the Arab and Islamic world. The Kingdom is one of the most important international partners with regard to economy, trade and investment.
