The goal of the Gulf of this trend? Is the whole thing is mandatory or optional?
Perhaps the current US president's remarks, Donald Trump, from Saudi Arabia during his election campaign, a clear indication of the Americans deal with Gulf money, as the man considered that this money has the inherent right of his country, in accordance with the logic of «royalty» given to the ruler or «thug» evidence or to submit a price for security, but do you deal with the Gulf states is the same logic? Do you pay for security or whether they only invest for profit?

He said God: «was the rescue of Saudi Arabia, which began in 1973, linking its oil and gold in 1974, was able to link all OPEC countries, the dollar, which has become a global currency once again marked the beginning of the petrodollar phase». Sees God, he said that the Saudi relief to the US economy has created a non-written alliance between the two countries has not seen muted during any period or era, and always gives the Saudis to rescue their friends, but most of the savings Saudi sovereign funds dropped, especially - in the United States.
He says a professor at the University of the global renewal of Turkey, said that arms deals are one aspect of the ongoing cooperation between the Gulf and the United States, and Saudi Arabia is the largest importer in the world of American weapons, adding that Gulf investments play an important role in the US economy.

On the other hand, a senior official at the White House said the United States is on the verge of completing a series of arms deals to Saudi Arabia worth more than $ 100 billion, this package increases eventually $ 300 billion over 10 years to help Saudi Arabia, and the order comes amid Trump pledged stimulate the US economy by increasing jobs in the field of manufacturing, such deals more thing can lead this purpose.
Political analyst said in a report that what is going on between Washington and Riyadh is a «tribute century», explaining that the amount you will receive the United States over arms deals or investments in infrastructure not only «bribe Saudi Arabia to appease the Americans».

(3) Investments in exchange for improving Washington's services for the Gulf

At the time he was threatening the law «Justa» Saudi money in America, the GCC investments in bills and US Treasury bonds rise by 4.7% in last January, on a monthly basis, with the US Treasury Department data reported that Gulf investments rose to $ 218.4 billion, until the end of January, compared to 208.6 billion dollars last December.

It states with oil revenues .. are the countries that needed to be provide assistance. »

(4) money for protection

The answer to the question remains: What is the contrast you get the Gulf states? As mentioned, the «royalty» pay for protection, must also be aware that the principle of protecting America's Gulf and interests is accustomed to the heads of the country's successive advertising it and emphasized, in April 21, 2016, in such a time last year, the former US president said, Barack Obama, America will deter any aggression on the Gulf states, after a meeting in Riyadh with the leaders of the Gulf cooperation Council (GCC), which demonstrates that the protection as an implicit commitment from America to the Gulf, perhaps Saakdh Trump in his upcoming visit.
Some may see that Trump's position has changed completely, Two years ago described Saudi Arabia as «milking cow», which generate gold and dollars, according to US demand, as he said: «What is provided by Al-Saud to American money even if half of the country's wealth is not value and importance of what America offered them protection and care », but you Trump is changed or whether the arms deals and investments were satisfactory for him?
