“We are almost done with the task (losing I) SIL) and we are rapidly conducting it in co-operation with others to do better,” said Trump on Tuesday during a White House media conference with the leaders of the three Baltic countries.
Saudi Arabia is very interested in our decision, and I told you, well, if you want us to stay in Syria, you have to pay,” said Trump.
Trump on Monday spoke to Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, where they discussed regional issues, including a peace plan between Israel and Palestine, as well as opportunities for a strong American-Sudite strategic partner.
