Saudi Arabia's security vulnerabilities are highlighted as the US, the "mainstay" of national defense, refuses to provide support

The international airport in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, was attacked on the 10th, resulting in casualties. The Iranian-backed Houthis have repeatedly launched missile attacks and continue to refuse to respond to requests for military assistance from the United States. Saudi Arabia is accelerating its withdrawal from the United States and is seeking alternative routes, such as signing defense agreements with Turkey and Pakistan, but some point out that it is lacking in preparation. The UAE's withdrawal from Yemen is also behind the deterioration of the Saudi security environment.

U.S. and Ukrainian leaders respond to growing mistrust by offering Russian diesel oil and easing sanctions

President Trump has prioritized lowering diesel oil prices ahead of the U.S. midterm elections, and expressed the view that it would be desirable for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who continues to attack Russian oil refineries, to step down. Mr. Zelenskiy had previously criticized the US for relaxing sanctions against Russia, and if distrust between the two leaders grows, the chances of an end to Russia's invasion of Ukraine could be diminished.
