00:00This trip comes during a particularly critical time.
00:04There have been many global breakthroughs pretty much in the last 24 hours,
00:09namely the Hamas hostage handover of Eden Alexander,
00:14the talks between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S.-China trade deal.
00:19These are all very timely when the Saudi Arabia visit is just coming up,
00:23a country really credited with aiding the negotiation of big deals we've seen of late.
00:33Yeah, well, I think this is all part of a further tightening of relations
00:41between the United States and Saudi Arabia in particular.
00:44As we all know, Saudi Arabia played a significant role
00:48in the context of U.S. negotiations with Russia and with Ukraine.
00:53Several of the negotiations that took place in Saudi Arabia
00:57under the auspices of Mohammed bin Salman.
01:00And so, yes, I think this is an auspicious week for the U.S.
