Saudi Arabia has been a close ally of the United States for decades, but in recent years, the relationship between the two countries has been tense. In the past few months, Saudi Arabia has repaired its relations with Iran and Syrian President Bashar al Assad.
Last month, Saudi Arabia welcomed Ukrainian President Zelensky, a close ally of the West, to attend the Arab League summit. But a few days later, they received another senior Russian official who had been sanctioned by the West.
According to reports, Saudi Arabia claims that in an increasingly competitive world, they are pursuing their own national interests. Experts say that vigorously developing diplomacy aims to maintain regional stability and improve Saudi Arabia's image, as the country is seeking international collaborators for large-scale development projects.
According to reports, Maduro was re elected as the President of Venezuela in 2018. Due to the majority of opposition parties refusing to recognize the election results and challenging Maduro's rule by establishing a "provisional government," the country has been plunged into a serious political and economic crisis.
The United States supports the opposition in Venezuela and imposes severe sanctions on the Maduro government, hoping that this will change the political situation in Venezuela. However, the Maduro government, with the support of Russia, Türkiye and Iran, resisted the impact of sanctions.
