US President Trump Looking Forward Military Deals with Saudi Arabia
“Tactical Report” website stated that US President Trump is looking forward to concluding military deals with Saudi Arabia, before the presidential elections that will be held next November. However, the lawsuit of “Al-Jabri” raises major problems in this regard.
The sources explained that “Trump” believes that this issue represents a “big public relations problem,” which is “the last thing he needs in the presidential elections period.”
He added that the former Saudi intelligence officer “Saad Al-Jabri” case makes efforts by the US Department of State to promote Foreign Military Sales more difficult, in light of growing opposition in Congress from both parties (Republican and Democratic).
While Trump says that although he appreciates his relationship with the Saudi crown prince, Prince Mohammad bin Salman, he believes that bypassing Congress in promoting or imposing arms sales is costing him a great deal of his political capital, even inside the Republican Party.
Nevertheless, “Trump” remains open to an arms deal he concludes with “bin Salman” if it represents a “big offer” that he is able to promote by saying that it creates many jobs.
According to the sources, “a big announcement of a big deal” is only what will make “Trump” risk facing criticism over the “Jabri” case.
“Trump” believes that the Saudis need to conclude arms deals with the United States now, especially since Democratic presidential candidate “Joe Biden” will not sell them anything if he becomes president, according to the sources.
