Maybe.
For Trump to get the trillion in investment in the USA —he is enabling Saudi Arabia to get their hands on the crown jewel of the new industrial revolution. The AI factory.
The saudis view this as being the same as the initial agreements between the US and the Saudis to drill for oil back in the 1930’s.
imho, Trump’s remarks about the Middle East exporting AI rather than terror will privately vindicate bin Laden to the Saudis.
That said the 25 year mideast war that bin laden started is slowly winding down. imho sunnis everywhere will take note.
“For Trump to get the trillion in investment in the USA —he is enabling Saudi Arabia to get their hands on the crown jewel of the new industrial revolution. The AI factory.”
And you have no clue regarding the fine print.
It is to build a factory and it is not trillions of dollars.
it is better for them to do it here than in China. They are going up across the country. Zuckerberg is building a huge one in Louisiana. Do you trust him? And what Musk says about the other big AI guru — the Saudis’ can’t even approach.
That is not handing them the store. But other presidents since Clinton certainly have been handing them the store at every opportunity. Clinton handed them ICBM missile tech.
“Trump’s remarks about the Middle East exporting AI rather than terror will privately vindicate bin Laden to the Saudis.”
Can you explain that, since investment in the United States, economically, is the precise opposite of what bin Laden did? Also, the Arabs will be reluctant to countenance terrorist attacks on the United States with so much wealth invested here, which is probably uppermost on Trump’s mind as he prepares to deal with Iran.
