SAUDI-US ties have never been better. Saudi Arabia will be President Donald Trump's first stop in his first overseas tour. The Saudis have laid out a massive red carpet for Mr Trump and his business delegation with multiple events. It's emblematic of the importance the Saudis have bestowed on Mr Trump and the rebirth of its relationship with the US.
It's not unusual for a US president to visit Saudi Arabia - president Barack Obama, who was viewed cautiously by Riyadh, came more times than any of his predecessors. It is, however, a first for a US president to be visiting the kingdom on his maiden trip. Business comes first.
