COMMENTARY

OPINION:

In a speech in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, President Trump held a wake for the neoconservative elite, or globalist “uniparty,” whose ideology has guided U.S. foreign policy for decades.

Saudi Arabia has embarked on a radical social and economic transformation under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s leadership since 2017.

Although Saudi Arabia remains an Islamist country ruled by an absolute monarchy counter to Western Judeo-Christian beliefs, the crown prince has made strides to diversify the kingdom’s economy beyond oil production and loosen some societal restrictions.

The result has been new construction, technological advancements, an increased focus on higher education and access to wider societal freedoms, such as allowing women to drive and opening the country to more Western sports and entertainment.

“Before our eyes, a new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts of tired divisions of the past and forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce, not chaos; where it exports technology, not terrorism; and where people of different nations, religions and creeds are building cities together, not bombing each other out of existence,” Mr. Trump said at a U.S.-Saudi investment event in Riyadh, recognizing the progress Mohammed bin Salman has made and encouraging other countries in the region to do the same.

Mr. Trump’s approach to the Middle East radically differs from that of his predecessors. He is using trade and investment to bring stability to the religiously diverse and war-torn area, rather than regime change and nation building, which the Washington uniparty establishment has long touted.

President Biden called Saudi Arabia a “pariah” over its human rights record, cut off military sales for almost his entire term and met with the crown prince only after Russia invaded Ukraine, gas prices soared and he needed OPEC+ countries to increase oil production.

A fist bump between the two world leaders was all that ensued. There was no pomp and circumstance, no touting of shared economic prosperity and no expansion of Trump 1.0’s lauded Abraham Accords, by which the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain forged economic and diplomatic relationships with Israel.
