Thats his first visit to a foreign country... the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The red carpet treatment and all belies the fact the US is closing a hundreds of billions of dollars arms deal with a nation that will use them to blow up the Middle East by Proxy.
Saudi Arabia are an ally. Arms deals are normal between allies.
Sorry, but this is not Star Wars.
I am more struck by the total respect shown to President Trump and the far more appropriate way in which he met the King. No grovelling, no weakness like Obama, who humiliated himself on the world stage.

Nothing 'normal' about this relationship..

The arms companies would disagree.

We can't hear what is being said, never will.
That we choose to ally ourselves wth such a Despot nation is more disturbing to me. Not just for the oil industry, but for arms use to slaughter innocents wholesale (currently in Yemen and Syria).

Trump stood tall. No grovelling like Obama.
Why would he have to grovel SA has been teabagging Trump for years. An American doesn't open a business in SA without kissing the kings ass.
Maybe Trump should be impeached for colluding with Saudi's

Nice ally , one of the worlds largest exporters of terrorism who supported both Al Qaeda and Daesh plus have a human rights record that would make most dictatorships envious , they say you can judge a man by the company he keeps.
