Assuming such a requirement exists - which, AFAIK, is a fact not in evidence - what makes you think the PotUS is exempt?
Such as advocating for clean air, water and soil? Supporting the proliferation of clean energy and responsible stewardship of the environment? Guaranteeing human and civil rights regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race or religion? Getting money out of politics and elections? Keeping religion out of government? A livable wage and affordable healthcare and education? Those atrocious never ending demands?
How many billions did SA just agree to spend in the US? It's one thing to have reciprocal employment expenditures between two countries, it's another to get nothing from a country like Mexico while they steal jobs from the US.
$40 billion. See Blackstone. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...to-invest-100-billion-in-infrastructure-deals
Margot I cannot see SA "giving" this money to America just because they like Trump. Is it a loan or will they then own assets in the USA?
Not because they like Trump.. because foreign investment is good for America and the Saudis. Its an investment.. which would mean to me that they anticipate ROI.
Neither Trump, or the GOP for that matter, knows anything about governing. So the "results" we've been seeing thus far...should come as a surprise to no one.
But this is for infrastructure according to Bloomberg and, forgive me but Australia has been there before and it ends with Toll roads and a never ending payment
I don't know.. © Getty A company founded by one of President Trump's top supporters and Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund announced plans Saturday to invest $40 billion in infrastructure projects, mostly in the U.S. The announcement comes as President Trump receives a warm welcome in Saudi Arabia during his first trip abroad as president. Blackstone, which was founded by Trump supporter Schwarzman, signed a non-binding memorandum with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) for the project. Blackstone said PIF had committed $20 billion to the project. Blackstone and PIF expressed optimism about the fund. The project"reflects our positive views around the ambitious infrastructure initiatives being undertaken in the United States as announced by President Trump," PIF's managing director Yasir al-Rumayyan said. "This will create well-paying American jobs and will lay the foundation for stronger long-term economic growth," Blackstone president Hamilton James said. Blackstone is not the only American company to strike a business deal with the Saudis. General Electric and Lockheed Martin have both announced business deals with the Middle Eastern kingdom, which is working to diversify its economy.
Of course they do. They're worried about Iran, obviously. Having the worlds greatest military super power on your side might help in that situation.
Oh! Nothing - I guess we Aussies don't believe in arming people that might decide to use those weapons to fight back Been there done that - read up on "Pig Iron Bob"
You don't understand the difference between Saudi's who followed Bin Laden training in Afghanistan and the Saudi government and royal family? What was SA's official stance on Bin Laden?
