This study is devoted to the identification of factors that influence the nature of the United States foreign policy towards authoritarian States. Saudi Arabia and Venezuela are examples of authoritarian States. Relations between countries are considered in the context of neocolonialism, through the prism of realistic theory. The analysis of data collected from various resources was carried out within the framework of the logic of qualitative research using the "case-study” method. As a result, the factors influencing the conduct of foreign policy were identified; the criteria by which it is possible to assume a course of development of relations of the United States with other authoritarian States are established
