Trump: Saudi Arabia might have to pay US for military presence in Syria

President Trump said Tuesday that Saudi Arabia might have to pay the U.S. for a continuing military presence in Syria.

“We’ve almost completed that task [of defeating ISIS] and we’ll be making a determination very quickly, in coordination with others in the area, as to what we’ll do,” Trump said during a White House press conference with leaders from three Baltic nations. “Saudi Arabia is very interested in our decision, and I said, ‘Well, you know, you want us to stay, maybe you’re going to have to pay.’”

The administration is set to make a decision on keeping troops in the war-torn country after nearly four years of war, and is now consulting with allies about the future, Trump said.

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had pledged an enduring presence in Syria last year as the U.S. and its allies remain on the verge of defeating the Islamic State there, but Trump has thrown the prior plans into doubt with calls to leave in recent days.

The Saudis are long-time U.S. allies that are concerned about growing Iranian influence in Syria, Iraq, and throughout the region. The U.S. is now providing military aid to the kingdom in its proxy war with Iran in Yemen, but Trump stressed the costs of that aid at the briefing.

“We do a lot of things in this country, we do them for a lot of reasons, but it is very costly for our country, and it helps other countries a hell of a lot more than it helps us,” Trump said.

The Commander in Chief says "We are leaving", a general says "We are not leaving" and the general wins. Trump needs to clean the Pentagon completly from Obama loyalists.

That was the plan from the day first, drown prince is there to beg Americans for having rule of peninsula. He needs West, to enslave his own people and force them to comply with his orders.

Crackdown on the Princes was also an American major plan, Kingdom was running out of dollars and USA wanted someone to pay for its operations in middle east, then they got MBS to milk all princes of peninsula

Trump had promised to milk them, and he did it. His statement about leaving syria was actually a warning to MBS, to mind him that he owes his presence in middle east to his American Lords.

How Trump sees Saudi Arabia:

 

[gangsta_rap]

needs to clean the Pentagon completly from Obama loyalists.

The Deep State or the Swamp as its called can't be cleaned. Trump (or just about any other POTUS) is a tool in that regard. He's swimming in the Swamp like anyone else and he isn't smart or strong enough to do anything better.

Saudi govt planning to buck naked in days rather in years. Salman should call back his son, before he announce become of King of KSA.
Salman should reinstate his foreign policy advisory team, which been fired years ago. He need mature team of advisors.
