The United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are reportedly in the final stage of securing an American-Saudi defense pact ahead of the upcoming U.S. election in November. If implemented, the U.S. would be required to defend Saudi Arabia if it were under attack and would become the first Arab state to sign such a strategic alliance with the United States.
In exchange for an American military defense umbrella and access to advanced U.S. military technology, Saudi Arabia would formally commit to block attempts by Russia or China to establish any military bases in territory.
