💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump's speech in Saudi Arabia indicated a retreat from U.S. interference in Gulf states' affairs. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, known for human rights abuses, welcomed this stance. Critics, like Abdullah Alaoudh, whose father is jailed in Saudi Arabia, expressed concern. Human rights groups noted Saudi Arabia's improved record but also highlighted ongoing detentions. Trump's visit was met with less criticism due to perceived U.S.
