You ought to study basic economics. The Saudis are desperate for hard currency. They are waging an ineffective costly war in Yemen, are absolutely required for their own security to subsidize the destitute Sunni Egyptians at a cost of $15 billion/month and are so fearful of Iran that they are buying arms that heretofore have shown no capability of using them as they were designed. They will sell oil to anyone with hard currency. If the situation were to change and they somehow (very unlikely) found they had the wealth, power and leverage they had in1974, they would turn on their “good friend” Trump and their “ally” America in a microsecond. Trump gave them far more respect, credibility and validation than they deserve. Make no mistake. He is immensely preferable to the vile thief Hillary Clinton but he is no Ronald Reagan.

SO you would have turned down the half a trillion in new business because they are a corrupt regime? Sorry, let them deal with their fellow muslims and hold their robes and deal with the winner. Right now the Sauds are the winners.
