** CORRECTION: Assessing the future of the U.S.-Saudi relationship
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed][UNIQID]

The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft invites you to a Zoom panel discussion about the future of U.S.-Saudi relations.

Saudi Arabia and the United States have had close ties for decades. The U.S.-Saudi relationship was built on a tacit quid pro quo of Saudi oil for America’s guarantee of security. However, the relationship has been challenged at various points by conflicting interests, including Saudi Arabia's recent oil price war with Russia, which harmed American shale oil producers and caused several U.S. politicians to call for a "rethink" of the relationship.

In the context of a possible post-oil future and an increasingly multipolar geopolitical order should the U.S. revise its relationship with Saudi Arabia? Would tougher love between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia help stabilize the region, or would it undermine U.S. national interests and intensify existing rivalries in the region? How will Saudi Arabia react to what increasingly appears to be an inevitable U.S. military drawdown in the Middle East?
