Is this quote inaccurate?

“I said, listen, you’re a very rich country. You want more troops? I’m going to send them to you, but you’ve got to pay us. They’re paying us. They’ve already deposited $1 billion in the bank.”

That is exactly what he said. I kind of take it this way.

Saudi Arabia should take care of themselves. Like he said, they are a rich country. Let the shieks build their own army.

They are not an ally but were enablers for the destruction of the WTC and killing 3000 citizens.

What gives the president the right to hire out our soldiers as mercs? Well, that is what we have been doing for decades, he just put the words to it.

This adds no protection to our shores.

A billion dollars would not cover a month of pay for equipment or boots.
