Trump's 2016 "America First" speech was co-written by saudi-arabian and UAE lobbyists.

According to ABC News, it was Trump adviser Thomas Barrack who arranged to give representatives from the UAE a preview of the speech two weeks before Trump delivered it. An associate of Barracks provided the speech to both Saudi and UAE representatives, still before Trump had delivered it to Americans. Finally, Barrack worked with Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort to insert revisions made by the UAE into the speech that Trump actually delivered. Manafort wrote back to Barrack confirming that the final version of the speech included the language requested by the UAE.

The recommended language from Barracks UAE contact at one point included suggesting that Trump directly mention Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, but that apparently didnt mesh too well with the screw-the-world tone of the speech that included Trumps declaration that he would withdraw from the Paris agreement. The final speech included a toned-down version of the text requested by the UAE that said that Trump wanted to work with our Gulf allies to develop a positive energy relationship as part of our anti-terrorism strategy.
Barrack seemed to realize that this communication between the Trump campaign and a foreign government over the future of U.S. energy policy was problematic at best. In an exchange with Manafort, he noted that the language he was proposing to add to the speech was probably as close as I can get without crossing a lot of lines. Whether hes concerned about crossing U.S. law, or crossing Mohammed bin Salman, isnt clear.
