Al-Mouallimi: Saudi-American Ties Will Grow Stronger under Trump

Saudi Arabia’s permanent Ambassador to the United Nations Abdullah al-Mouallimi announced on Friday that US President Donald Trump’s choice of the kingdom as the first stop in his first international tour since his election “demonstrates the importance of bolstering ties between the two countries and the Arab and Muslim worlds.”

He added that Saudi-American ties will grow stronger under the Trump leadership, stressing that these relations are already strong and based on solid foundations.

Trump had on more than one occasion expressed his appreciation for the role Riyadh is playing in the region and voiced his backing for efforts in several issues, al-Mouallimi noted during a statement while attending a seminar on terrorism held in Washington.

Moreover, the ambassador noted that Saudi Arabia shares with Trump his view that Iran’s actions in the region should stop and they it should be confronted.
