In an about-face, President Donald Trump has conveniently forgotten old boasts about his business ties with the Saudis, calling reporting on them “FAKE NEWS.”
For the record, I have no financial interests in Saudi Arabia (or Russia, for that matter). Any suggestion that I have is just more FAKE NEWS (of which there is plenty)!

There’s a good run down of Trump’s entanglements with the Saudis here and with the Russians here.
