Topic Reading-Vol.1478-4/28/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
U.S. and Saudi Arabia, trapped in a bad marriage
These two countries share almost nothing to share. Not only the basic human and historic backgrounds such as race, religion, language, history and cultures, but also social system and practices such as governance, politics, human rights, judicial system and military.
To make this bilateral relations chiller, they are now competing in the oil market. Are these two states still, if ever, called allies?
Saudi still plays important roles to keep the stability in the Arabian Peninsula and help show US’s military supremacy in the region, even though no high ranking officials or royal family members, not to mention the king or crown prince, welcomed the president of the United States of America in the airport.
Will their relationship change in the foreseeable future?
Enjoy reading and learning what Saudi means to the U.S.
