The GCC economies are being tested, but years of reform, strong fundamentals, & progress on diversification have strengthened their resilience. At today’s GCC ministerial meeting, we discussed ways to enhance economic security, growth & prosperity.

Warning for GCC leaders: outsourcing your security has made you less secure. You have seen how US military bases in your countries have turned into a source of threat instead of providing security. Our missile and drone power, as well as the management of the Strait of Hormuz, are Iran’s serious red lines. The only reliable path to regional security is to distance yourselves from the U.S.
