I'm just now realizing from these comments that the GOP has successfully indoctrinated the masses into believing that Saudi Arabia... is a US ally. They're not, FYI. Russia & China are allies with Saudi Arabia. Oil/trade does not an ally make. state.gov/countries-of-p

A bill is filed in Texas legislature to ban citizens, governments & entities of China, Iran, North Korea & Russia from purchasing land in Texas. I will sign it. This follows a law I signed banning those countries from threatening our infrastructure. thecentersquare.com/texas/new-bill
It's amazing how much false information has been posted by other people on this thread. "Ally" is defined by the US Government. Saudi Arabia is not an ally. Having diplomatic relations doesn't make us allies. Trading doesn't make us allies. Military bases don't make us allies

The USA has diplomatic relations with 189/195 UN Nations. We have military bases in 85/195 nations. We maintained a base in Cuba for decades while severing diplomatic relations. We only recognize 18 non-NATO nations as allies. Saudi Arabia is listed as a Nation of Concern.

Saudi Arabia is a US ally though. US military bases in Saudi Arabia, US air support and intelligence are vital to the Saudi genocide in Yemen, the list goes on. Saudi Arabia and the ruling class of the US share common interests.

This seems to be another political stunt. These players will circumvent these rules through third party transactions. Old game. Most 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. We are quickly reaching a stage where 9/11 seems too distant to a 21 year old getting ready to vote.
