Tony Shaffer to Newsmax: U.S.-Saudi Ties Part of Long-Running Strategy

Saudi Arabia’s deepening alignment with the U.S. is part of a long-running strategy between the two nations, possibly leading to the Saudis joining the Abraham Accords, retired Army Reserve Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer said on Newsmax Sunday.

“The move to the Saudis being more of a close ally is not new,” Shaffer said on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America Weekend,” noting that cooperation on weapons, security, and regional normalization has been underway for years.

President Donald Trump’s push to integrate Arab partners reflects a consistent U.S. goal, he added.
