Mnuchin Meets With Saudi Crown Prince
So Mnuchin dropped out of the Davos in the Desert conference because it became totally toxic for international businesses, but he had a photo op with MBS anyway? And gave them another opportunity to push economic ties and potential arms deals?
Yeah, that sends the right message of strength and moral clarity.
Of course he met with the Crown Prince. This administration has no plans at all to hold SA and MSB accountable.
We will remember Jamal Khashoggi and hopefully SA will be held to account at some point, even if the Trump admin has no plans to.
But then there’s this:
That’s why I believe that the BS “fist-fight” story is something designed to rub Trump’s face on it and show him who is the boss. They can do whatever they want, say whatever they want, Trump is going to do nothing. They got Trump and Kushner by the cojones with business deals and bribes, would not be surprised if they even have a video of a camel pissing on Trump.
I was going to ask why the Treasury Secretary was meeting with him as opposed to the Secretary of State or some such, but that’s right. Davos in the Desert.
