When Donald Trump took oath as president in January, many US allies were hoping that he would improve the situation than his predecessor. Allied minds are drawn to the idea that President Obama has left the show due to apathy in the Middle East. Obama's vision was in Asia. While in power, he strengthened the United States presence in the Pacific to prevent China's growing uprising.
During Obama's Arab Spring, the US allies took sides from the support of the dictatorship of Egypt's dictator Hosni Mubarak. His disloyalty to fight against state lawmakers in Syria and the nuclear deal with Iran led to disagreements among the US allies in the Middle East.
Middle East and North American researcher Jane Kinemont told CNN: "For many years now, there has been an idea in the Gulf region that America has backtracked from the United States commitment to Gulf countries on the issue of the release of Kuwait in the face of Iraqi aggression (Washington)."
He said that Obama made it clear that he did not like the kings of Arabia. Now the trump has come and embraced them. He pledged to sell arms. But because of its 'America First' policy, there is still the notion that Washington will remain in the Gulf region as long as it is needed for its own interests.
It is true that US Secretary of State Rex Tylson has been trying to resolve the disputes between Qatar and other Gulf countries. Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner has been motivated to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian crisis.
However, after the resignation of veteran diplomats after the government came to power in Telaror, the recruitment for those posts has been slow. Experienced diplomats have become difficult to find. Qinmant says, the Gulf countries understand that they need allies. And then the scene appeared in Russia. Middle East researcher Mohammad Baji of New York University said they are now heading towards Moscow.
In October, Saudi king Salman's visit to Russia was a sophisticated example. There is nothing to say about this. This is the first Saudi king to visit Moscow. But just two hundred years ago, they poured the money to overthrow the Soviet Union from Afghanistan. But the visit did not take much importance in the United States.
Saudi Arabia has abandoned loyalty to the United States, the issue is not the same. However, it is between them and Russian President Vladimir Putin's smart foreign policy. He has now been portrayed as a deliverer in the Middle East crisis. Putin has visited Turkey last month. He has good relations with Iran. He is more aware of the Middle East than the trump.
In this US policy many leaders of the world are inclined towards new relations. Many are unhappy about the US For example, in the recent years, the US relations with Turkey have deteriorated.
Earlier this month, when the United States stopped giving visas to Turkish tourists, students, diplomats and journalists, Ankara declared the same as a counter-step.
President Obama considered Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan as a political reformer. He went to Turkey on his first visit. But just after the coup in Turkey last year, Putin stood beside Erdogan only after the coup. Iran supports him. But the reaction of the United States and Europe was lesser than that.
Since then, Erdogan's positive perception about Russia and Iran has also increased. From the time of President George W. Bush, the US started to retreat from the Middle East. But during Obama's regime, it has been in full swing.
Obama said that it is not right to interfere in the United States on many issues in the Middle East. Saudi should share issues with the Middle East. Iran and Saudi Arabia need to find an effective approach to ending the proxy war with Syria, Iraq and Yemen. Obama made it clear that the United States will not favor anyone in this crisis.
