AVA- During a “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) rally with his supporters in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Trump indicated that he would remain a steadfast supporter of the Saudi government, largely due to Riyadh’s purchases from US companies.
Trump claims that he called King Salman of Saudi Arabia and told him, “we are losing our ass defending you and you have a lot of money.” He then mimics Salman’s accent.
“Look, Saudi Arabia, very rich country, They have nothing but cash, right?” Trump said. Trump then mimicked the Saudi king.
“They buy a lot from us, $450 billion they bought,” he said. “You know, you had people wanting to cut off Saudi Arabia. They bought $450 billion. I don’t want to lose them!”
