Trump's Arab allies fear corruption investigations after the Democratic victory in the US Congress.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar may face investigations by the US Congress into suspected corruption involving President Donald Trump, his family and members of his government.
According to a report by the South China Morning Post, published on November 12, the Democrats, who won a majority in both houses in the midterm elections, are preparing an attack to monitor the financial ties between the White House and the Persian Gulf monarchies.
Among the deals under scrutiny are investments by the Emirates in cryptocurrencies linked to the Trump family, commercial agreements with Saudi Arabia and Qatar's offer of a luxury jet worth $400 million.
The investigations may examine whether private financial benefits influenced US foreign policy decisions. Trump and the White House deny wrongdoing.
