President-elect Donald Trump jeopardizes the global economy through his promises to block Middle East oil imports for the purpose of creating an energy independent United States, according to petrostate Saudi Arabia.
Over the course of the two-year American election process, Republican nominee Trump promised on the campaign trail to divest U.S. interests from our foes and the oil cartels, referring mainly to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), of which the KSA is the largest producer and de facto leader.
At his heart President-elect Trump will see the benefits and I think the oil industry will also be advising him accordingly that blocking trade in any product is not healthy, Khalid al-Falih, chairman of Aramco and Saudi Aramco Oil Minister, told the Financial Times in Marrakesh, where world leaders are currently negotiating the nuts and bolts of the landmark 2015 climate change agreement.

What if we don’t need any?
No leverage.
Somebody is nervous.....
Let them fail, the camel jockeys have over played their cards
F them all
Convert to Christianity and pay for your own security and I’ll think about it.
Or else what? No more dates?
No worries. We just need to drive the cost of oil to $2/bbl. They can transition their economy to productive endeavors.
I’m thinking Trump’s response will contain words beginning with G, F and Y.
FUSA and the camel you rode in on.
Saudi Arabia can still sell to the rest of the world. Europe, Red China and Japan use up plenty of oil. A few years ago, the Saudis were all too happy to put the screws to us, cutting production to keep prices high.
Arabs are already crying......without our money they are back to eating camel dong.
You have the wrong number. Your bought and paid for patsy works at the Clinton Foundation.
WINNING
Not tired of it. Never will be.
I think the USA should set up a system that permits us immediately to turn only to internal production for the sake of US security. Trump is absolutely right.
When that system is set up, then the world market price, and especially if it is naturally low, and not low because of price manipulation via cartel producers, should be the price that prevails in the USA.
Or else, what??
We don’t need your raghead juice, we’ve got lots of our own but were blocked from accessing it for political reasons by the left. GFY, all you towelheaded camel-humpers!
Warning to Saudi Arabia should be : Defend yourselves.
Dopey Prince @Alwaleed_Talal wants to control our U.S. politicians with daddys money. Cant do it when I get elected. #Trump2016
I thought the saud were going out of business due to all the oil being discovered everywhere.
They'll fly more planes into buildings in the U.S.?
