Abstract
The current study investigates the impact of American Foreign Policy on Saudi Arabia in the 21st century. This research highlights the historical background of both the United States and Saudi Arabia before and during that era. It discusses the U.S.-Saudi Arabia relationship, the events led to tension in their relations, and the impact of U.S. foreign policy on Saudi Arabia. This study aims at knowing whether this impact of U.S. foreign policy on Saudi Arabia is positive or negative using the analytical method. The analysed information show that the U.S.-Saudi Arabia relationship is based mainly on mutual interests and that they both depend on each other, but the dependency of Saudi Arabia on the United States is much stronger. It shows that the impact of American foreign policy on Saudi Arabia is more negative than positive; this is because the
American objectives are very different from Saudi Arabia’s values, beliefs, religion, lifestyle, and traditions.
