The announcement came hours after the Saudi crown prince announced he would increase his investments in the U.S. to nearly $1 trillion.
Donald Trump said Tuesday the U.S. and Saudi Arabia have entered into a security agreement that will ease weapons transfers and elevate the relationship between the two countries.
Under the agreement, Saudi Arabia would be designated a “major non-NATO ally,” a formal relationship that deepens defense cooperation but does not include a security guarantee. The Kingdom would join 19 other countries in that category, a list that includes Israel, Jordan, Kuwait and Qatar.
The announcement followed the crown prince’s announcement that he would increase his nation’s investments in the U.S. from about $600 billion to nearly $1 trillion — and after Trump dismissed a question about the 2018 killing of a Washington Post columnist in which Mohammed was implicated by the CIA.
Saudi Arabia was behind 9/11… wtf are we doing
Making rich people richer.
It’s what poor people pride themselves on.
He’s got some people he wants his prince to bone saw.
Next deportation camps for people who may or may not be US citizens, or members of the mythical Antifa, will be based in Saudi.
Hey if you’re struggling to get your Antifa membership card renewed let me know, I work at head office.
Usually I’m organising boycotts of innocent local businesses who are just exercising their right to be American, but I know the guy that handles the membership assignments.
I’ve heard horror stories hence why mine is on auto renew
Yet again we must ask now, does the President alone have that power? Feels like something Congress needs to be involved with just as they are the ones allowed to declare war
POTUS has a lot of power to manage relationships and status with other countries. My question is what are these investments and does Trump personally benefit?
His kids have strong relations with the Saudis. Probably just a money grab / grift as usual.
Relatively few wars the US has been involved in have been declared by Congress. That bus left the station a couple of centuries ago.
Not a new romance, but I’m sure Trump will push it to previously unheard-of heights of tastelessness and corruption.
Ew 😐
Would be fun if Saudis now would attack Israel
Why would they? They’re allies.
Arabs and Jews are allies? Only to a certain degree
Saudi is a US vassal. They known better than to mess with America’s favourite genocidal colony.
🤮
