Abstract :
The historical relations between the United States of America and Saudi Arabia are based on a long history of political, security, economic, military and energy cooperation, but these relations were so strong that they faced deep challenges such as the 1973 oil crisis and the September 11 terrorist attacks. And the story of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi took a healthy life, and the democratic and republican governments have played an equal role in strengthening these relations, however, the relations between the two countries during the presidency of Donald Trump and Mohammed bin Salman, the young crown prince of Saudi Arabia Saudi reached such a stage of closeness that has not been seen in the past half century. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with the presence of Prince Bin Salman, is changing its social, economic and political structures, the likes of which have not been seen since its establishment in 1932. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and a group of close like-minded people, with the help of multinational consultants, bankers and cultural and social theorists, have been responsible for this transformation. They create more social for Saudi people. In 2016, the "Saudi Vision 2030" was launched, which provided an ambitious plan to achieve these goals and more. In the meantime, Trump's America and Saudi Arabia bin Salman have close cooperation with each other in the field of these reforms.
