President Donald Trump called Saudi Arabia a “spectacular ally” in November while fending off political heat from the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The president additionally cited a $450 billion arms and economic development agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia as a reason to maintain close ties with the Kingdom.
But Trump didn’t say a word about Saudi Arabia’s suppression of human rights, its worldwide funding of terrorism, its secret police, or its embrace of the extremist Wahhabi religion.
Neither did he mention that the U.S. deal with the Saudis is actually much smaller than $450 billion.
