Don't forget that, originally, it was the Saudis who initiated contact with the United States, and invited the US Military into the kingdom for protection. It was the Saudis who sought the help of US engineers in establishing their oil infrastructure. And it was the Saudis who bought U.S. surveillance aircraft and jet fighters in response to the revolution in Iran.
The notion that the United States entered Saudi Arabia of its own accord - without invitation - is historically inaccurate.
