Why is Donald Trump being frozen out of new global alliances?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump and his despicable regime are getting completely frozen out of newly formed global alliances. Let's take a look at what's happened in the past 24 hours alone. You have Iran's foreign minister Aragie meeting with China's foreign minister Wang Yi in Beijing about closer economic relationships. Remember when Treasury Secretary Bessant was like any country that does business with Iran, we are going to unleash hell on you. Well, China and all the BRICS nations over the weekend said, we're actually going to increase our economic cooperation with Iran. Then there was a follow up meeting in the past 24 hours in Beijing between Iran's foreign minister Iran. Rang Chi and China's foreign minister Wang Yi, which was also strategically timed right before President Xi Jinping is supposed to visit Donald Trump here in the United States.
Ben Meiselas 1:02
Xi Jinping's only going to be here for really less than a day. When he previously visited former President Obama, he was in the United States for far longer. Donald Trump is already preparing. How he's going to bow down to President Xi Jinping. Trump is making our uh members of our armed services practice of how they're going to salute Xi Jinping. We've been seeing that rehearsal take place at the White House all day yesterday and today as well. Trump wants the pomp and circumstance to show Xi Jinping just how honored Donald Trump is to have Xi Jinping. At the White House, all the while Xi Jinping talks about the Thucydides trap. So Iran, China coordinating closely before Xi's visit to the United States.

You have Saudi Arabia begging right now. UK, France, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, we need weapons. We are out. Of interceptors. We relied on the United States for our security umbrella here. We thought we were getting an iron dome like Israel got. Turned out we were the Iron Dome for Israel, is what Saudi Arabia is realizing. And MBS, despite giving all that money to Kushner and to Trump and putting all the Trump Properties, all the quid pro quos. MBS realizes he's the mark. He's out of weapons. The Houthis continue to advance as they now head further east after taking all of Western Yemen. We've been talking about all those Houthie strikes on the Saudi refineries and oil storage facilities, whether it's an Abkake on the east, whether it's Yambu on the west.
Ben Meiselas 2:55
West, the East West pipeline throughout Saudi Arabia damaged. Saudi Arabia is like, we're gonna get it back up and running pretty soon. All the satellite footage though shows that none of the new pipes are being reconnected. But Saudi Arabia is just saying, here's what we are doing. It's just fascinating to me as well, because after Saudi Arabia CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper and Netanyahu. Who's Massad all met earlier this week?

How are Iran and China deepening economic cooperation before Xi’s U.S. visit?

Ben Meiselas 3:22
I guess Saudi Arabia's plan was to claim that the Houthis were trying to strike Mecca, but then they released photos of Medina, Medina, Mecca, tomato, tomato. It was also video from 2025. And I think the purpose of it was try to rally support or symbolic support from the Sunni Alliance. Of Pakistan and Turkey and others. And maybe that's why I was like, we condemn the Houthis. Anyway, Saudi Arabia is reeling. The Trump regime is not a reliable ally with anybody, surprise, surprise. But we did learn that apparently some Trump regime officials were in Muscat in Oman this past weekend, potentially meeting with the Houthis, or perhaps an Oman mediator purporting to be representing the Houthis. Where the Trump regime told the Houthis, We give you our word, we will not help Saudi Arabia actually strike the Houthis.
Ben Meiselas 4:25
But the Houthis, we got a little bit of a gas problem in the United States, a little bit of a diesel problem as well. Actually, a much worse diesel problem and much worse gas problem than any ever existed in history before. Can you help us, Houthis? So Trump says, you know what, Houthis? We're cool. Keep going after MBS. Attack the MBS tankers. All good. Just can you let our tankers and Israel's tankers through? We won't strike you. And then you could do the war with MBS.
