Jeddah – Saudi Arabia\u2019s relationship with the United States has changed forever, and would not return to what it was under a new president.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the view of Prince Turki Al-Faisal, former Saudi intelligence chief, who made the comments in an interview with CNN on Wednesday. He said: \u201cThere is going to have to be a recalibration of our relationship with America \u2014 how far we can go with our dependence on America? How much can we rely on steadfastness from American leadership? What is it that makes for our joint benefits to come together?\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cAnd I don\u2019t think that we should expect any new president in America to go back to, as I said, the yesteryear days when things were different.\u201d He said: \u201c\u2018Straitjackets\u2019 and other such terminology is not appropriate, I think. \u201cI\u2019ve always thought that America and Saudi Arabia willingly came together to undertake joint efforts. If you want to change course and establish new grounds for understanding, you don\u2019t have to be insulting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Prince Turki also said the Kingdom had \u201cnothing to hide,\u201d in reference to the US Congress proposing to pass a law that would declassify 28 pages of the Sept. 11 report, which allegedly shows Saudi involvement in the attack. The law would allow US families to sue the Saudi government, but has been rejected by US President Barack Obama.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is all regurgitation of past similitudes and accusations that followed Sept. 11,\u201d Prince Turki said, while making clear he could not speak for the Saudi government. \u201cAll those questions were answered by the commission report.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jeddah – Saudi Arabia\u2019s relationship with the United States has changed forever, and would not return to what it was under a new president.
