The GCC countries are closely monitoring the U.S. presidential elections due to their strategic partnerships and economic ties with the U.S. These countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar often seek continuity and predictability in U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding security, trade, investments, and stability in the Middle East. The outcome of U.S. elections influences GCC states' diplomatic strategies and defense collaborations, shaping their approach towards regional challenges. The election results are pivotal in determining the future trajectory of U.S.-GCC relations and regional dynamics.
