Trump Speech In Saudi Arabia | In Saudi, Trump Sends Message To World: Make Deals, Forget Past
President Donald Trump sent a message to the world in Saudi Arabia: make business deals and the US won't meddle in your affairs.
Trump, on the first overseas visit of his second term, praised the country's leadership for its modernization push and said Iran, Lebanon and Syria all had the opportunity for a brighter future. The Middle East would be "defined by commerce, not chaos," he said.
Fulfilling the wishes of many of his MAGA base, Trump rejected notions of nation-building and pressure on human rights that other US presidents once championed. Of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Trump said, "I like him a lot - I like him too much."
