RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — A security scare closed the airspace here, delaying our flight by hours. On the ground, green lights covered the city for National Day, and electronic billboards displayed the national symbols.
But behind the celebration, a serious problem is growing. Saudi Arabia is at war, and President Trump has chosen not to get involved. That decision could hit Americans where it hurts: at the gas pump.
