Comment: Case of missing Saudi journalist highlights America's diminishing influence in the Middle East

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
When it comes to defining America quandary on Saudi Arabia, US President Donald Trump description is mercenary in the extreme
If Washington doesn&t stay close to Riyadh and sell it arms, he told reporters in the Oval Office this weekend, the Saudis will turn to
Moscow or Beijing instead
Given that, he seemed to be suggesting, the United States should just keep its plans for a $110 billion arms deal and the 450,000 jobs he
says it would bring.
