How is Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman 'ghosting' Donald Trump?
Canadian Prime Minister Carney is making his move as MBS, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, is ghosting Donald Trump, as are many Mideast countries and many countries at the highest leadership level across the world. Let me explain to you what is happening, because following the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, Prime Minister Carney went to Saudi Arabia to meet with MBS and announce massive partnerships between Canada and Saudi Arabia. Notably, Prime Minister Carney, while in Saudi Arabia, also talked about human rights, also acknowledged that there are major disagreements between the values of Canada and Saudi Arabia. He acknowledged it head on with MBS standing right there. But Prime Minister Carney said it is important
that we can still engage in partnerships for the economic benefit of Canadians. And through partnerships, we in Canada may be able to have a better influence on human rights and other important things to the Canadian people. Such a difference between Donald Trump and MBS's meeting, or Donald Trump and the meetings with authoritarians in general, where Donald Trump is that authoritarian bootlicker. Now, MBS is ghosting Donald Trump. I just want you to think about it. When Marco Rubio went to the Middle East in order to try to undermine the MOU, which he's now done, but when he visited about two weeks ago or so, notably, he did not stop in Saudi Arabia. That would normally be the first stop for Rubio.
That would be the first stop for an American diplomat because of Trump's prior relationship with MBS. But MBS feels utterly betrayed by Donald Trump. MBS is like, we've given you all of these things, Donald. I've personally given you and Kushner all of this money, all of these benefits, and you went to Netanyahu and did this unlawful and catastrophic war.
Why did Prime Minister Mark Carney travel to Saudi Arabia after the NATO summit?
against Iran and you exposed Saudi Arabia to massive damage. And we thought we were buying protection and we were defrauded. So you'll note how MBS has been pulling back on lots of investments in the United States, lots of money pouring in from MBS into the United States. has been clawed back. And that's a result of the betrayal that MBS feels that Donald Trump has engaged in with MBS. Prime Minister Carney knows that. So let me show you what Prime Minister Carney did when he was there. First, let me just remind you, this is when Donald Trump was with MBS and he would like start grabbing and pulling at MBS and then they would post these weird photos together. Remember this last year before Trump and Netanyahu launched the catastrophic war against Iran?
Here, let's play this clip.
Senator Lee, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President.
And Trump doesn't give a fist pump. I grabbed that hand. I don't give a hell where that hand's been. I grabbed that hand. Remember Biden? He travels for 20 hours. He gets out and he gives a fist bump. No. When you get out of the plane and you got the future king and the man who's one of the most respected people in the world, You shake his hand, you don't give him a fist bump.
Okay, and then remember when Donald Trump's like, and I want MBS and Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords with Israel. And Saudi Arabia's like, stop, we're not doing that. Until there's a Palestinian state, until there is a two states, we're not talking about the Abraham Accords. Stop asking us all of these things. I think also MBS and others see a deeply unserious United States, not just a dangerous one. I mean, what's Trump doing today? He's changing the columns to Corinthian columns in the White House, and they're doing all this work in the front and back of the White House, which is, again, a violation of the law. So in any event, Prime Minister Carney shows up in Saudi Arabia, and first he talks about, we in Canada are looking to double our non-US exports, and we're on track for that.
Here play this clip.
We're looking to catalyze a trillion dollars of investment between now and the end of this decade. We are embarking on a defense industrial bill that's half a trillion dollars. We're looking to double our non-U.S.
