Over 70 years ago, in 1945, U.S. President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt and King Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia met
onboard the USS Quincy. A close relationship between the two countries
has been maintained ever since, with oil and military and intelligence
cooperation at its foundation. But the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. shale
revolution, human rights concerns, and diverging interests in the Middle
East, have all put strains on this relationship. Has this special
relationship outlived its usefulness, or is it too important to walk
away from?
