President Trump on Saturday, shortly after vowing to hand out a "severe punishment" to Saudi Arabia if it is found to have killed a missing dissident journalist, said he wants to preserve a $110 billion arms deal with the Saudi kingdom.

Trump said if the United States pulled out of the deal, Russia and China would rush in to sell their own armaments, potentially costing domestic jobs.

"It's the best equipment in the world but if they don't buy it from us, they're going to buy it from Russia or they're going to buy it from China or they're going to buy it from other countries," he said Saturday at an Oval Office event celebrating the release of an American pastor Andrew Brunson, who was imprisoned in Turkey on spying charges for almost two years.

"Russia and China wanted it very badly," he added of the arms deal.

Trump called it "the largest order ever made" and said it would support 450,000 jobs domestically.

1. As ususal, Trumps lies. There is no actual 110 billion dollar signed contract(s)

What was signed was a memorandum of intent. So far, the Saudis have signed contract worth about 14 billion.

using that number.

And whatever they buy will be used to kill more in Yemen.
