Outlet track record
Arab News
Saudi state-aligned
Arab News is an English-language newspaper headquartered in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, owned by the Saudi Research and Media Group (SRMG), which has longstanding ties to the Saudi royal family and government. The outlet consistently mirrors official Saudi government positions on foreign policy, regional rivals, and domestic affairs, and is widely characterized by media analysts as a vehicle for Saudi state messaging. Under the Trump second term, the US-Saudi relationship has warmed significantly — marked by defense deals, massive investment pledges, and a presidential visit — and Arab News coverage of the Trump administration has been broadly supportive.
