Trump has to finalize the deals he made.
He wasn't seated as US Pres for nothing.

He is beholding to others than the US. But before Iran could be bombed, Trump had to dismantle a few KEY issues & weaken the US.

involves loans or some kind of payment. Will the plane be big enough to carry the cash?

Don't yell at me for having these thoughts. Trump made me do it.

Additional note: Will this trip be included in Biden's classified information to be released on Monday? If not, he should ask.

Qatar is the home of AlJazeera.

Sounds like a Saudi attempt to strong arm Qatar into something with US support, like ending relations with Iran.

Perhaps trying to convince those two countries to recognize Israel just as other Gulf Nations have. They may succeed with Qatar, but not with Saudi Arabia. But then again, there could also be a far more sinister purpose.

Of all the countries with no extradition treaties, Saudi Arabia has the most Trump-compatible climate and attitude towards wealth. He's going to hole up in a penthouse somewhere and start his own media company.

For the record, I called this three months ago.
