While speaking to reporters on Tuesday, President Trump stated that what the US ultimately does with Saudi Arabia is going to be left “very much, in conjunction with me, up to Congress.”
Trump said, “I think here I’m going to leave it up very much to Congress. Congress has some very strong ideas, both ways. I’ve been told by certain senators, we want that investment to keep coming. At the same time, that doesn’t mean that they’re not going to do something. There has to be some kind of kind of retribution. There has to be, no matter what you do. I’ve been told by others that they don’t want investment of $450 billion. I think that’s foolish, but there are some that feel that. But I’m going to leave it very much — in terms of what we ultimately do, I’m going to leave it very much, in conjunction with me, up to Congress.”
