FILE - In this Feb. 14, 1945 file photo, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, right, and King Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud discuss Saudi-U.S. relations aboard USS Quincy in the Great Bitter Lake north of the city of Suez, Egypt. The kingdom of Saudi Arabia has enjoyed the ultimate protected status from the U.S. throughout its short history, from Roosevelt meeting Saudi Arabia’s first king on Valentine’s Day in 1945 to the kingdom becoming America’s main Mideast ally following the downfall of Iran’s shah in 1979.
