Actually MBS laughed about it.. This was an internal show to the US citizens that Saudi Arabia is buying US products and investing in joint projects, both in the US and KSA..there is nothing as "giving some of their wealth"..there is buying and selling involves in commercial (be it military, industrial or services) transactions.. otherwise everyone who buys something is giving his wealth.. there is always a equivalent value in the products being purchased..
This is just Trump's way of spicy talk..
True assessmentThe Saudi Lobby has been constantly buying out loyalty in US Legislative and Executive. It did not start with Trump. Trump is just trying to raise the price tag for buying out US politics.
In this sense, he is actually doing good for his nation.
Completely contrary to the Saudization Plan which is falling apart.Actually MBS laughed about it..

And on what are you basing your valued opinion.. I am curious..Completely contrary to the Saudization Plan which is falling apart.
Lets seeAnd on what are you basing your valued opinion.. I am curious..
There is ToT involved in every transaction.. and that is where the Saudization come along.. but mastering ToT and producing better products takes some time, meanwhile there are weapon procurements until they can be produced locally.. where have you seen the Saudi plan falling apart? Every recent action ..be it in Egypt, England or this start of a 3 weeks visit to the US all show more consolidation of the localisation plan, rather than it is falling apart.. which seems to be more of a bad wish than ground realities..
Well that the empty half of the bottle.. there is also the half full..Lets see
Starting with setting up and directing the middle east office for a major petrochem supplier, managing a multi million contract within Saudi for their “biggest” company... and dealing with complaining engineers, scientests and technicians who cant get anything they need since the new policy.
Not to mention the many many Saudis I meet who in the US( where they can have free speech) cite complete dumb dumbs appointent in major business decision making positions instead of actual qualified people.
So yes, I do have the authority to make that statement.
And please keep the condescending ideas about ToT to yourself, I know too well about ToT and certain display projects at KAUST and other areas kept for royal visits
IKTIVA and other programs are mismanagement and rushed.
