After the turmoil of the Arab spring and the disaster of the Syrian conflict, Trump’s speech on Sunday marked a deliberate bookend to his predecessor’s values-led approach. It was delivered in an ostentatious hall to absolute rulers, hosted by a regime with an appalling human rights record and it promised that the US would no longer question the way they went about running their countries.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson touted the “historic moment in U.S.-Saudi relations” as the two countries dedicated themselves to “a new strategic partnership” and announced Saturday a nearly $110 billion arms deal to boost the American economy and support Saudi Arabia’s military and counterterrorism operations.

The move represents a massive break from the policy towards Saudi Arabia pursued by former President Barack Obama. The Obama administration, eager to engage Iran, often ignored the protests of the nation’s Saudi allies against the nuclear deal inked with Tehran. The previous administration had also curtailed some military deals with the Saudis, citing disapproval of Saudi involvement and airstrikes in a longstanding Yemeni conflict.

The substantial new agreement indicates that President Donald Trump, unlike Obama, intends to repair relationships with traditional U.S. allies in Saudi Arabia and Israel to counteract the threat of terrorism and escalating Iranian aggression in the region.

“Today we announced 23 foreign-investment export licenses leading to upwards of more than $350 billion of historic direct investment,” Tillerson said at a joint press conference with Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir. Of that, he added, $109 billion “is in arms sales to bolster the security of our Saudi partners.”

I am having trouble discerning if he's trying to get impeached or start a revolution, Louis XVI style.

Wait, how is this different from the previous administration? Obama was still allies with them, they still sold weapons to them, hell they even bombed Yemen too! Trump's foreign policy is unfortunately not that much different from Obama.

Ivanka Trump is also receiving $100 million from the Saudis/UAE for a "women's enterpreneurship fund" (lol)

I love you Trumpy

It's not different. Those who expected "Fresh" foreign policies because Trump didn't own anyone anything must be disappointed now..... or not. Depends on how principled they are.

The USA funding terrorists and murderers. Not much has changed except Trump doesn't even apply the "human rights talk" coat of paint.

Since when was the Saudi Arabian Gov a terroist? 

Their government is an absolute dictatorship, they bomb their neighbours into submission and weapons they bought seem to end in several terrorist orginizations hands, one of which being ISIS.
