In 2019 Michael Flynn and other Trump cronies wanted to sell Nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. Not sure if they ever were able to do it. Combine this along with the LIV golf tournament (Trump backed and Saudi financed), 2 billion the Saudis gave Jared along with the fact Trump is heavily in debt so who is financing that.
