EIRP President Examines Saudi Arabia-U.S. Alliance, Cooperation on Nuclear Energy

Paul J. Saunders discusses the fraying U.S.-Saudi alliance in the foreign policy magazine The National Interest. Saunders argues that engagement will be necessary to maintain U.S. global influence in an era of growing competition with China and Russia. He also argues that America’s refusal to allow nuclear energy exports to Saudi Arabia would not prevent Riyadh from obtaining nuclear technology from other nations.
