Sorry but that is rot. The vile Saudis are not only corrupt in the Western sense but they are the prime motivators and financiers of the barbaric Sunni jihadists that plague mankind. The US selling them arms is akin to the amoral “neutral” Swedes selling the Nazis industrial goods until the gold the Nazis stole from the Jews ran out. The Swedes kept the Nazi war machine going. That Nazi financing made possible the establishment of an industrial infrastructure that the Swedes capitalized on greatly while the rest of Europe was in post war ruins. Today amoral Sweden is rotting from within. Blood tinged petrodollars will not ultimately benefit the American people. Those arms will eventually be controlled by hostile people who will know how to use them.

I believe this visit is the first time we have had a leader call for the extremists to be driven out.

I agree that much of the extreme activity in the mosques is due to Saudi extremists being allowed by the government to finance these “madrasas”. But Trump has it right by saying that they must be taken down from within the religion.

If it fails, it will not be because Trump has sold arms to the Saudi government. I like the approach we have seen. Sorry that you do not.
