Trump moves to bring the Saudis even closer

Time

May 26, 2025

ON MAY 13, U.S. PRESIDENT Donald Trump will open the first multicountry foreign trip of his second term with a stop in Saudi Arabia, underscoring that ties with Riyadh remain a Trump priority.

Trump moves to bring the Saudis even closer

(He'll also visit Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.) While a hoped-for diplomatic breakthrough normalizing Saudi-Israeli relations will have to wait—at least until the Gaza war ends—plenty of other opportunities will allow Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, known as MBS, to leave their meeting claiming diplomatic victory.

The Saudi need for a U.S. security guarantee is less urgent than during Trump's first term. Iran, still the Saudis' main regional rival, is now far weaker after Israel's battering of its allies Hamas and Hezbollah and the ouster of Tehran-aligned Syrian strongman Bashar Assad. It's also unlikely Trump could deliver the two-thirds Senate supermajority needed for a formal defense treaty.

The fractured agenda

BY THE TIME NEGOTIATORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD gathered in the Amazonian city of Belém in November to discuss the future of climate action, the world had already experienced an alarming year: near-record global temperatures, unprecedented heat waves across continents, and extreme flooding that scientists say would have been virtually impossible without human-driven warming.

AI'S NEXT FRONTIER IS HERE

In 1950, when computing was little more than automated arithmetic and simple logic, Alan Turing asked a question that reverberates today: Can machines think? It took remarkable imagination to see what he saw—intelligence might someday be built rather than born.
