Al Arabiya (English)

Al Arabiya English is the English-language digital news service of Al Arabiya, a Saudi-linked broadcaster owned by MBC Group, which became majority-controlled by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund in 2025. The outlet broadly reflects Riyadh's foreign policy interests and has been documented by media watchdogs as selectively reporting stories that might embarrass the Saudi government. Given the unusually warm ties between the Trump administration and Saudi Arabia during this period—including major state visits and hundreds of billions in announced investment commitments—its coverage of Trump has been largely neutral to occasionally favorable, especially on Middle East and Gulf affairs.
