Trio of Evil: Trump Warns “Israel” in Big Trouble without Saudi Arabia

Local Editor

It it’s all about the trio of evil in the region: US President Donald Trump blatantly announced that Saudi Arabia’s alliance with the United States is critical for not only his country, but “Israeli” interests as well.

Following a special teleconference call from his Florida home in Mar-a-Lago Thursday morning with American service members stationed across the globe, Trump spoke with reporters during a brief press conference.

When questioned regarding the White House’s response to information that the Saudi government, including Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, had ordered the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi embassy in Turkey, Trump emphasized the importance of the US-Saudi relationship, while denying any clear link between the Saudi Crown Prince and the killing.

Trump also said the close relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia was critical to “Israeli” interests as well.

“If you look at “Israel”, “Israel” would be in big trouble without Saudi Arabia. So what does that mean? Is “Israel” going to leave? Do you want “Israel” to leave? We have a very strong ally in Saudi Arabia. We have an ally that says that it did not commit – at the top level, the Crown Prince, the King – this atrocity.”

He further said: “The fact is they’ve been a very strong ally. They create tremendous wealth and a tremendous amount of jobs in their purchases. They keep the oil prices down – if you want to see a global depression, raise the oil prices by $50 a barrel.”

Saudi Arabia “is a very important ally, and if we go by a certain standard, we won’t be able to be allies with almost any country.”

This is not the first time Trump has cited “Israel” while highlighting the importance of the US-Saudi relations.

On Tuesday, the White House released a statement from Trump in which Trump referenced the interests of both the US and “Israel” in connection to the Saudi regime.

“The United States intends to remain a steadfast partner of Saudi Arabia to ensure the interests of our country, “Israel” and all other partners in the region. It is our paramount goal to fully eliminate the threat of terrorism throughout the world!”

In October, President Trump told the Wall Street Journal that Saudi Arabia had been “a very good ally with respect to Iran and with respect to “Israel”.”
