摘要

Rodrigo Rato says“So the American economy needs the world,and the world needs the American economy”?.For that,it is possible to note that the short history of US policy in the Middle East,including the succession of presidential“doctrines”,from Truman through to Bush II,confirmed Washington’s appreciation of the strategic role of the Eastern Mediterranean and the oil rich states of the Middle East in the broader context of US policy goals.This interest is due to the fact that this region(Middle East)has a large of oil reserves and huge economic recourses.This region holds about 66%of the world oil reserves,and this oil reserve will make the region dominate for a longer time on the global oil market and international oil-producing organizations,such as OPEC,so control on this region has become a focus of attention to decision-makers in the world,and there is no doubt that the United States was the most prominent who tried to control the region.The purpose of the current research is to shed light on the United States’economic presence in the Middle East region to understand how United States’presence has developed in the region and what motives were behind its presence.
