The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia took 24 hours to congratulate US President-elect Joe Biden as the world powers rushed to the United States. Although they sent a message, it did not show much support, and political analysts have speculated as to the exact reason behind it.

Saudi Arabia’s heir apparent Mohammed bin Salman has a close relationship with Donald Trump, so it is difficult to say goodbye to Trump, Joe Biden for his great achievements, and the president who is expected to lead the United States for the next four years has made a promise. Against the Saudi monarchy.



Among other things, Joe Biden promised to return to the Islamic Republic’s nuclear deal with Iran, to address the humanitarian crisis in Saudi Arabia, and in particular the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi.

Joe Biden will also consider US support for his Saudi counterpart in the war in Yemen, which is one of the main reasons why Mohammed bin Salman delayed his congratulatory message to Biden.

The media has been vocal about the breakdown in US-Saudi relations following the election of Joe Biden, and there have already been comments about the severity of the blow to the monarchy.

The international media acknowledge that Saudi Arabia is diplomatically seeking to maintain relations with the United States, but no one expects it to get what Joe Biden got from Donald Trump.

Although trade between the two countries is highly dependent on each other, everyone is waiting to see how the relationship between the two countries unfolds, but no one expects Saudi Arabia to enjoy the outcome of the election of Joe Biden.
