Following a tough defeat in the recent U.S. midterm elections for President Donald Trump and his party, the political landscape in Washington is shifting rapidly. With Democrats taking control of Congress, the newly empowered lawmakers are wasting no time to attack Trump is all possible ways.

Analysts point out that this electoral setback for Donald Trump’s allies is almost certain to invite intense, aggressive congressional scrutiny into the his family’s extensive business dealings and foreign financial partnerships.

The investigation might focus specifically on gulf countries like Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar, which have very strong ties with Trump. Reports suggest that democrats are planning to start strict checks on foreign business deals and how money moved between rich Gulf leaders and Donald Trump’s family.

They believe that many big foreign investments and real estate deals created major conflicts of interest.

Meanwhile , leaders of these countries are worried about sharing their private financial papers with US investigators. They fear these investigations could bring bad publicity and upset their long friendships with America.

Even though Congress lawmakers cannot directly arrest foreign leaders, they still hold strong power. They can easily block big weapons sales, stop security help or delay defense deals as a counter measure.

US senators have already warned leaders in the Middle East during recent visits. They made it clear that private financial deals between foreign royals and American politicians will face intense questioning after the midterms.

So, it would be interesting to see how the political scenario unfolds in the USA after the new congressional term takes effect.
