CLASSIC : TRUMP PERSUADES SAUDIS TO AGREE TO SAFE ZONES IN SYRIA

I bet it didn't take much for Trump to persuade the Saudis.

He kept them off his travel ban list.

And wasn't it Saudi Arabia who with the USA and Israel and with some help from the British agreed to unleash cutthroat Jihadis onto Syria?

After much speculation during the past week, President Donald Trump spoke with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman by phone on Sunday, and they have agreed to support safe zones in both Syria and Yemen, according to the White House.

Strengthened military cooperation between the US and Saudi Arabia will have immediate repercussions in a region where the US government has been at war since 2001.

Trump was joined during the call by National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, chief of staff Reince Priebus, and chief strategist Stephen Bannon.

“The president requested and the King agreed to support safe zones in Syria and Yemen, as well as supporting other ideas to help the many refugees who are displaced by the ongoing conflicts,” the White House statement said.
