This is what led to America’s partial military pullback from the Saudi kingdom

, which have been deployed to protect Saudi oil facilities, along with two jet fighter squadrons.

“This is a showdown between the US and Saudi Arabia, where Washington says to Riyadh that if you do not follow our oil advice, we will leave you to Iran,” says Mehmet Bulovali, an Iraqi-Kurdish expert who served as an advisor to Iraq's former vice president Tariq al Hashimi. President Donald Trump shows a chart highlighting arms sales to Saudi Arabia during a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Washington March 20, 2018. Fluctuations in the oil market have created friction between the historically staunch allies as the coronavirus pandemic has killed tens of thousands of Americans, and dragged the country’s economy down with 33.3 million Americans filing for unemployment.

Prior to the oil deal in the US Senate, Trump’s Republican allies whose states have been hurt by the price crash, sought a mitigation measure — the Strained Partnership Act. It was designed to punish the Saudis by way of pulling troops and reducing other military commitments unless Riyadh reduces its oil output.

On April 3, a day after Trump's phone conversation with MBS, Cramer also told the US president that it’s worthless to spend billions of dollars to defend the Saudis “if our friends are going to treat us this way”. Other experts also think Iran was on the move long before the US military reduction from the kingdom, seeing Covid-19 as an opening to challenge US presence in Iraq and other places in the Middle East.
