The incoming Biden administration in Washington is set to herald a new chapter of trade ties between the US and the Gulf as well as with the region’s largest economy.
In recent days, many analysts have speculated over the differences between how a Biden and Trump-led US will interact with the oil-exporting Gulf states and Saudi Arabia, the dominant regional economy.
