Trump hails huge Saudi arms deal as a jobs producer

RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA


The United States completed an arms deal with Saudi Arabia totaling $110 billion Saturday as President Donald Trump seeks to strengthen economic and security ties with one of the world’s largest energy producers.

The agreement, which will take effect immediately, is the largest single arms deal in U.S. history and will create tens of thousands of new jobs in the U.S. defense industrial base, according to the White House.

“That was a tremendous day. Tremendous investments in the United States,” Trump said. “Hundreds of billions of dollars of investments into the United States and jobs, jobs, jobs.”

But the Saudi government quickly announced that 150 Lockheed Martin Blackhawk helicopters would be assembled in the kingdom, leading to about 450 jobs in Saudi Arabia.

Trump and Saudi King Salman signed the agreement, as well as other commercial ones totaling another $250 billion, in a signing ceremony late Saturday following a series of meetings and lunch on the president’s first day in Riyadh.

Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson, dressed in a traditional black abaya, watched as the two leaders signed. Lockheed Martin released a statement in which Hewson hailed the agreement as producing “the foundation for job creation and economic prosperity in the U.S. and in the kingdom.”

“This is unprecedented,” Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al Jubeir said at a news conference. “We have not had an agreement signed by a king of Saudi Arabia and U.S. president to codify this strategic relationship. This was a great accomplishment.”

The arms deal represents a win for Trump, who sold himself as a dealmaker in the presidential campaign but whose domestic achievements have been overshadowed by numerous scandals back at home as investigators try to determine whether his associates colluded with Russia in the election.

This package of defense equipment and services is designed to bolster Saudi Arabia as it counters threats from nearby Iran and fights terrorism while reducing the burden on the U.S. military.





And just as a reminder Saudi Arabia is a Muslim nation that kills gays and sees women as second class.

 

Right along with Mr Smith 36, M4MPetCock, and maybe even Mayling just to name a few of his socks.

 

Arms/guns and such dont grow on trees.

 

The arrogant elite leftist unsuporters can always find something to bitch about where Trump is concerned.

 

I bitched about Obama every damn day

 

Once again shootersa don't let us elite leftist Trump unsupporters get away with it. Post all the good things we are missing about Trump right here. It should be easy for you and the rest of the Trump supporters.

Show us all the great things the MSM refuses toi cover.

 

I was riding down the street when I saw one of these on the couples rear window. I want one now.

 

I am actually trying to copyright my own.

TRUMP: 15 to 20

 

That's funny...not bad.

 

Actually, isn't that the number of articles with "unnamed sources" that Stumbles posts each day. Nah, I guess what would be more like "Trump: 25 to 50".

 

Why aren't you Trump supporters posting the good things myself and the mainstream media aren't reporting? It would be a great way to prove just how biased the MSM is against Trump.

 

GOOD NEWS from Trump;

Trey Yingst, chief White House correspondent for the One America News Network, is reporting Monday that three sources of the leaks liberally flowing from President Donald Trump’s White House have been found.

According to Yingst, three staffers have been identified and referred to the Office of Government Ethics for their role in leaking information from within the White House. Leaks to the mainstream press have constantly plagued the Trump administration in its early days, with opportunely time leaks undermining key administration efforts.

Yingst claims his source informed him President Trump will fire “multiple people” on his return to Washington from his landmark foreign tour through the Middle East. It was implied criminal prosecution may also be on the table for those responsible.

Suspected of being leftist, planted by none other than Valerie Jarret.

 

Now let me get this straight. Valerie Jarret was in charge of hiring Trump's White House staff?

PS I also have to wonder what the PR hacks, their many many socks and the Trump supproters would be saying if Valerie Jarret had tried to set up a secret channel with a foreign government using their facilities so the US government couldn't know during the transition between Bush and Obama?

I would think they would be just a tad upset about that.

 

Just what was "landmark" about it?

And considering that Trump fired all of the holdovers from Obama, that they missed these is their own damned fault.

Or this could be aces just pulling shit from his ass... Got proof of this claim?

 

I just want to reaffirm that I actually do want to see the Trump supporters put up what they think Trump is doing good and what I and the MSM is missing. And they don't need anything other than their own opinion. And I will not challenge it.

But by pass all media and just say what you are seeing. But on a daily or weekly basis. We don't live in the past, and Trump is president. So what is he doing good today? And I don't know what would be easier than that. You can't get any easiser because there always has to be two sides to every story. I tell you my story everyday. So let's hear yours.

And let's pause here for a moment. Most people just quit when Trump got elected. Which is normal. New president comoing in? You are out and resign. And it is also common for incoming presidents to want the resignations of US attorneys. Because they aren't judges. Those are lawyers who serve at the president's discretion and all presidents want their lawyers.But no president has ever fired 90+ prosecutors all at once because they actually are a defensive wall between us and crime. And now with crime increasing there is no one to persecute them because Trump can't get anyone to work for him.

But the bonus is that especially conservative/Republican/Tea Party/White Supremacist, PR hacks and their many many socks, and Trump supporters like having our laws enforced. And they are goi9ng to be real pissed when they call and no one is there to pick up the phone.

 

Hmp, the coward didn't quote me, but he did reply....fucking liar that he is, he couldn't hold up his deal...just couldn't keep ignoring me..hehehehehe.

The White House low level staffers were already there, during the Obama regime...Obama holdovers, however, they will soon be gone.

You should go and ask that fruitcake Maxine Waters about the massive dats base Obama set up, allowing everyone the ''right'' to all information within the federal fucking governement

Leaks for all.

Landmark it was.

The First sitting POTUS to visit the the Western Wall, along with creating some very substantial economic deals for the U.S.

You should go and ask that fruitcake Maxine Waters about the massive dats base Obama set up, allowing everyone the ''right'' to all information within the federal fucking governement

Leaks for all.

 

Anyone see that little boy who was dressed up like a marine like his dad get a high five from President Trump yesterday? That was pretty cool.

 

Republican politicians excell at that kind of thing.

A Republican politician who favors tax cuts for the rich to be paid for with cuts in Medicare, and who opposes labor unions, increases in the minimum wage and unemployment compensation, and universal health care will win the votes of whites who benefit from those policies by going to their bars, buying everyone drinks, and talking to them about the fortunes of local sports teams.

Then he might make snide remarks about dark rumors that his Democrat opponent (who favors economic policies that would help blue collar workers) would rather attend a play by Euripides than watch the Super Bowl.
