The Left pretends Trump embarrasses this nation. But now other countries respect us.
And a standing ovation for Trump overseas has sent Democrats into hysterics
At the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum 2025, President Donald Trump delivered a pivotal speech on May 13, heralding a new era in U.S.-Saudi relations and earning a standing ovation.
His address celebrated Saudi Arabia’s transformation and reinforced a historic partnership, signaling a robust strategic alliance.
This moment is explored through three key perspectives: the reaffirmation of bilateral ties, praise for Saudi Arabia’s self-driven progress, and a call for regional diplomatic expansion.
Reaffirming a Historic Partnership
Trump emphasized the enduring bond between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, rooted in the 1945 USS Quincy meeting between President Franklin Roosevelt and King Abdul Aziz.
“With this historic state visit, we celebrate more than 80 years of close partnership between the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” he declared, adding, “Today, we reaffirm this important bond, and we take the next steps to make our relationship closer, stronger, and more powerful than ever before.”
His remarks underscored a commitment to deepen ties, with a vision for collaboration that transcends past challenges.
Trump’s assertion that the relationship is “more powerful than ever before” reflects a renewed alignment, bolstered by shared economic and geopolitical interests.
Celebrating Saudi Arabia’s Self-Driven Progress
The president lauded the transformative reforms led by King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, describing them as “truly extraordinary.”
He marveled at Saudi Arabia’s architectural and developmental strides, stating, “The majestic skyscrapers, the towers that I see, the difference between now and eight years ago — and eight years ago was very impressive.”
Trump highlighted that this progress stems from local ingenuity, not foreign intervention, saying, “No, the gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called nation-builders, neocons, or liberal nonprofits like those who spent trillions and trillions of dollars failing to develop Kabul, Baghdad,media, so many other cities.”
This emphasis on Saudi self-reliance celebrates the kingdom’s sovereignty and vision, distinguishing it from failed Western-led projects.
Advocating for Regional Diplomacy
Trump concluded his speech with a bold call for Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords, a move he deemed critical for Middle Eastern stability.
This invitation aligns with his broader vision for regional cooperation, building on the accords’ framework to foster peace and economic ties. He framed the U.S.-Saudi alliance as a foundation for mutual success, stating, “We will work together. We will be together. We will succeed together. We will win together. And we will always be friends.”
The proposal underscores Trump’s ambition to expand diplomatic normalization in the region, leveraging the strengthened U.S.-Saudi partnership to promote broader geopolitical alignment and prosperity.
