We need to end our addiction to Oil, so that we can stop pretending Oil rich countries are allies.

Why is Saudi infrastructure in our national interest? Make the US infrastructure on par with theirs first.

No one can rely on Trump following through with anything he promises. And he lies in every sentence. He has no principles so no one really knows what he will do next. (see--tariffs). It's all a game of attention for him. To be in every news cycle. That's it (&to get a gaudy gold plane). He's a joke.

"Hundreds of billions of dollars" of deals from a country with a total GDP of only $200 billion? Convicted felon Trump is mathematically retarded.

Who knows the nature of these deals? Is he even legally able to obligate anything, and has he?

Trump is on the take.

My guess is this will turn out to be like the Foxconn deal in Wisconsin from a few years ago. Make a promise to Trump to build, then drag their feet and eventually either not fulfill the promise or back out. Meanwhile, the company gets rich with tax breaks.

The Saudi government is responsible for 911.

Trump just makes up numbers. He was convicted of massive financial fraud. Holding my breath for the media to catch up to the con. 🙄

The so-called deals are all about oil and oil money. When the oil is no longer needed the deals won’t be either.

Where is the plan for manufacturing jobs??? Guess the US and saudis don’t really want them. Lip service for the marginalized
