When different reports are coming from different corners of the world regarding the election in the US, then this is very helpful for Saudi Arabia. Even three months earlier Saudi Arabia is losing its allies drastically, but now it is gaining the foothold again.

The catalyst behind this successive story is the election of Donald Trump as the President of the United States. Saudi Arabia is one of the key choices for several Western and European countries. It is an open truth that Saudi Arabia always remains a potential part of the West as it contains a substantial market.

So many Western and European countries are trying hard to be a part of that market in Saudi Arabia. The US is helping Saudi Arabia in developing its air force and border security force. Recently, several other countries like Germany, UK, and Canada enhance their initiatives to make different deals on weapons and military forces of Arabia.

According to the sources of OBSERVER, the UK sells weapons to Saudi Arabia and is desperate to continue it. Current UK Prime Minister Theresa May clearly defines that intel from Saudi Arabia has already saved Britain from many terrorist attacks.

The election of Donald Trump gains a series of positive changes in the relation between Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Muslim world. But the most significant fact is the relation between Arabia and the US is gaining the positive momentum again.

Even a few months ago Saudi Arabia was very unhappy with the Obama administration as this administration creates a good relation with Iran. But after the election of Donald Trump the current diplomatic condition of the middle-east changes rapidly.

Sources of International Business Times make it clear that Donald Trump will acquire a new diplomatic policy towards Iran and Saudi Arabia. The recent developments in the relation of Italy and Arabia and the relation between Algeria and Arabia provide the evidence.

Italy is a long-term ally of Iran, but currently, the European state wants to restart a 2007 dormant security pact with Arabia. It is a known fact that Saudi Arabia always acts against Iran. The surprising fact is Algeria, the only Sunni country that supports Iran, wants to have a good relation with the Kingdom.

Currently, the Algerian economy is in a very bad shape and wants massive financial help from Arabia. Even the Kingdom sends a positive message towards Algeria. The Crown Prince Nayef of Saudi Arabia spends a long holiday in Algeria instead of Morocco.

Apart from this, other countries like Tunisia also trying to construct a good relation with the kingdom. Tunisia has already sacked the Religious Affairs Minister who criticizes the Wahhabism of Saudi Arabia.

The current president of Lebanon Michael Aoun's initiatives to restore the "billions of dollars of military aid" with Saudi Arabia clearly unveils strong ties between the two. Even Saudi King Salman also stressed on the ties to ensure stability in the region.

Egypt is another key country of the Muslim world. Egypt wants to defuse the tension with the Kingdom. The country has offered the control of two islands in the Red Sea to Saudi Arabia.

Now it is quite clear that after the recent US President election a new dimension in the strategic plan has emerged between the West and the middle-east countries. Most significant changes happen between the relation of the US and the Saudi Arabia.
