Afrasianet - Emad Anan - The curtain on US President Donald H. Trump's two-day visit to Saudi Arabia was described as "historic," where he witnessed several events and meetings that resulted in the announcement of the so-called joint strategic vision between Saudi Arabia and the United States of America.
The visit that resulted in the signing of a package of bilateral agreements, in addition to three summits that brought together the American delegation on both the Saudi side and the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, as well as the American Islamic Summit in which Trump lectured about Islam in the presence of representatives of 55 Islamic countries.
Many question marks are on the table at the end of the visit and the departure of the American president to the "Israeli capital Tel Aviv", the winner and loser in this round, which was the focus of the world's attention, and the repercussions of the results achieved on the map of the conflict in the Middle East on the one hand, and The future of US-Saudi relations On the other hand, will the Gulf-Arab-Muslim-American consensus (as it seems) succeed in finding a solution to the worsening crises in Syria, Yemen and Libya? Or will President Trump be satisfied with military support remotely?
America is the biggest winner
The United States topped the list of winners through this visit through two axes: the economic hub, where the conclusion of a series of deals and agreements in various fields, reached about 34 agreements worth 380 billion dollars, including energy, petrochemicals, health services, real estate, technological and technological investment and mining, Armament and military cooperation, which occupy the largest share of these deals.
With these deals, Trump managed to save nearly a third of the sum he demanded during his first term in office to develop his country's trillion-dollar infrastructure.
The political axis, in which America reintroduced its role in the Middle East again and strongly after the decline during the last two years during the period of former President Barack Obama, which has gradually removed his country from the developments of conflict in the regional scene, especially in the files of Syria and Yemen, and succeeded in building a coalition Arab Islamic Gulf New in the face of the Russian alliance.
The slogan "Great America" raised by Trump during his election campaign and pledged to translate it on the ground was a motivation to revive the administration of the White House for the new role of its country in this vital and inflamed region, which contains the largest proportion of the world's oil, as well as the importance of Its strongest ally, the Israeli entity.
Washington's dilemma of returning to the region has been funding for this return. When the US administration demands that safe areas be built as a back door to enter Syria and take part in the fighting against the Huthis in Yemen, it must be funded while America suffers from an economic crisis. Saudi Arabia, especially the Gulf states, were in general the new door of America to enter the region after pledging support.
After another politician in the outcome of Trump gains from his visit to the Gulf, which is easing the pressure exerted on him internally, especially after his involvement in coordination with the Russian side during his campaign, as well as the pressure of the Zionist lobby because of the disclosure of the US President for information about the recruitment of some customers, "Israelis" Which some analysts might suggest to the fate of former President Richard Nixon and the Watergate scandal of 1972.

Gulf .. the high price to restore the role
Saudi Arabia was also on the list of winners - as is apparent in the face - of this visit described by Saudi and non-Saudi political analysts as the most important in the history of the Kingdom, especially the last ten years.
The restoration of Saudi Arabia to the Gulf role regionally and improving relations with the United States after years of cooling and strengthening its military arsenal with dozens of arms deals, and drew the attention of the world as one of the influential forces in the Middle East, was the most important gains achieved by the Kingdom through this visit.
Riyadh's success in pushing the new White House administration to change its previous position from Saudi Arabia and its rulers after a series of hostile statements is a diplomatic move in the Riyadh process and is expected to lead to a reshaping of the future US-Gulf alliance.
US support for Saudi Arabia's anti-Iranian stance, repeatedly playing a chord of new sanctions against Tehran and a pledge to abort its nuclear deal, was one of Saudi Arabia's most visible gains, although Washington's mechanism for carrying out its threats to Iran was not identified.
Despite the exorbitant price of these apparent gains, which, as previously mentioned, exceeded $ 380 billion at a time when the kingdom suffers from a deficit in its annual budget, the Saudi administration has absolutely no objection to regaining its regional role and strengthening its external front against its adversaries Politicians in Syria and Yemen at any cost.
So Saudi Arabia believes that it won. What about Arab issues, foremost of which is the Palestinian issue?
