Saudi King to Trump: Let us work for peace
Al Arabiya ^ | November 9, 2016 | Staff

Posted on 11/09/2016 11:04:19 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Custodian King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud had a telephone conversation with President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, during which he congratulated him on winning the presidential election, Saudi Arabia’s official news agency SPA has announced.

During the conversation, King Salman confirmed Saudi Arabia’s aspiration to promote the historical and strategic relations with the United States, and work together to bring peace and stability to the Middle East and the world, and wished the American people further progress and prosperity under his leadership.

President-elect Trump expressed his thanks and appreciation to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for congratulating him, and emphasized his keenness to develop the distinctive bilateral relations between the two friendly countries, the statement said.

Earlier, King Salman said both Saudi Arabia’s government and its people offer their best wishes for the new US leader, who surpassed the necessary 270 votes after clinching Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes to win the presidency. Trump is now the 45th United States president after a bitterly fought election against his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

Trump should be clear to Saudis: End support for terror, end Islamic sharia, help Islamic refugees in the middle east, make room for their return from the US.

Saudi King to Trump: Let us work for peace

Headline is truncated.

In full: "Let us work for peace by blowing up more buildings, killing more Americans, and funding terrorists around the world."

Saudi Arabia isn’t making peace in the world with its years of funding jihadis in Syria fighting the Assad government, funding that led to the creation of Islamic State.

Peace in the ME can better be served by cutting off all money to any but the stable non jihadi states. That means Egypt for the time being and none other.

George w Boosche holding hands with the soodi king should have been a tip off as to how evil our government had become.

We have awakened, and if they're not scared, they should be.

“During the conversation, King Salman confirmed Saudi Arabia’s aspiration to promote the historical and strategic relations with the United States, and work together to bring peace and stability to the Middle East and the world, and wished the American people further progress and prosperity under his leadership.”

Historical? that’d mostly be with Britain. That’s why Prince Charles has had one foot in SA and Gulf states on brit gov’t instructions.

Yes please, Saudis want more ISIS and weapons from America, they’ll pay..business deal!

“President-elect Trump expressed his thanks and appreciation to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for congratulating him, and emphasized his keenness to develop the distinctive bilateral relations between the two friendly countries, the statement said.”

Oh my.. maybe he should’ve said “Make America Great” or “You’re fired”...all will be revealed in time.. No hope & Change!

The Saudis are behind ISIS and all terrorism. They need to be shut down. They have been smiling to our faces and stabbing us in the back for decades.

President Trump needs to tell them that the party is over.

The Saudis have money...and nothing else. They have to pay mercenaries to defend their country.

The US and the West need to seize their Swiss bank accounts and their oil fields and declare “GAME OVER.”

New Living Translation

When people are saying, “Everything is peaceful and secure,” then disaster will fall on them as suddenly as a pregnant woman’s labor pains begin. And there will be no escape.

let’s hope there is no ‘peace’ agreement -

That was my immediate thought as well.

No more bowing and scraping from the leader of the free world!

Thank God Trump won! We truly dodged a bullet.
