Trump Claims Saudi Crown Prince 'Kissing My Ass' as He Praises Arab Allies Over NATO

"Claiming that Arab nations were closely working with Washington in the ongoing war against Iran, US President Donald Trump said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had effectively ended up 'kissing my ass' ".

"Speaking at the Future Investment Initiative conference in Florida, Trump elaborated on that claim by recounting what he said was a conversation with the Saudi royal about the US’s resurgence under his presidency."

“ 'He said, you know, it’s amazing … a year ago, you were a dead country. Now, you’re literally the hottest country anywhere in the world,' Trump said."

"Trump then directly linked that assessment to his characterisation of the current dynamic with Riyadh, repeating his claim in full rather than as an aside. 'He didn’t think this was going to happen … he didn’t think he’d be kissing my ass … he thought it’d be just another American president that was a loser … but now he has to be nice to me,' he said."
