This R&D provides resources on U.S.-Saudi relations. President Barack Obama is heading to Saudi Arabia today, but does so in an atmosphere of discord after Saudi Arabia threatened to dump $750 billion in U.S. assets if Congress passes a bill that would enable American citizens to sue the kingdom over the September 11 terror attacks. The dispute shines light on the discord in the relationship between the two countries, with the Saudis already skeptical about President Obama’s outreach to Iran during his presidency.
