The past oil-for-security agreement between the USA and Saudi Arabia has sounded an alarm for today's Ukraine's mineral agreement. For decades after World War II, American oil companies extracted Crude Oil Product in Saudi Arabia, fueling the USA's development while the USA also established air force bases in Saudi Arabia, enhancing its security. Even after Saudi Arabia nationalized its Energy industry in 1980, then-President Carter maintained this oil-for-security arrangement. Now, Saudi Arabia has found that economic factors do not always dictate when Washington deploys military force, and they are seeking written defense guarantees. Geopolitical analysts say this is due to the possibility of significant changes in America's economic interests. The USA has largely ended its dependence on Middle Eastern oil and has grown tired of the region's seemingly endless conflicts. Greg Gause, a scholar at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, stated, "Ukrainians believe they can rely on the USA's economic interests in their rare earths to gain implicit security guarantees from the USA, which is a naive notion." One example is in 2019, during Trump's first term, when suspected Iranian Drones and Missile attacks disrupted Saudi Arabia's largest oil facilities, but the USA did not respond directly.
