Bahrain Mirror: Deputy head of the Foreign Affairs, National Defense and Security Committee in the Bahraini Parliament Khalifa Al-Ghanem said that he received reassurances from the US Ambassador to Manama William V. Roebuck that his country's policy towards Bahrain will not change during the term of President-elect Donald Trump.
Ghanem reported that the Ambassador stressed that US-Bahraini relations are governed by a number of agreements and conventions signed years ago and cannot be affected or altered due to current developments in Washington.
