riyadh may the twenty first two thousand and seventeen donald trump on his first foreign visitors u.s. president it presents an opportunity to define the new middle east policy of the united states together with his allies a major strategic turnaround. probably want to. win back the middle east particularly our arab allies. sunni arab states led by saudi arabia turkey and israel and what he heard from all of those and all of us are heard from them is are rare is the big threat it's our isis convinced of the dividends from this new approach trump now refused any idea of possible dialogue with iran. saudi arabia has welcomed mr trump's realistic approach to meeting the challenge of iran's extra territorial ambitions in the area and we think it was about time that the us walk up to the fact that the problem with iran is not just nuclear development but it is this ambition to expand its control over the arab countries around it and mr trump was very much responsive to this idea the visit to saudi arabia was a clear signal that the u.s. is going to now completely side with iran sunny neigh
