Saudi Arabia found itself caught between Iran and the USA: who should foot the bill for the war?
I think the president would be very interested in calling on them to do so. I cannot provide more detailed information. Of course, this is the decision of the head of state. I think you will learn more about this from the president himself.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said this in response to the following question from a journalist: "During the 1990-1991 Gulf War, Arab countries - Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE - paid for most of the military expenses. And who is paying for the expenses of the current war? Will these Arab countries take steps in this direction?"
As reported by BAKU.WS, this was stated in a video material by Baku TV.
From the response, it becomes clear that US President Donald Trump intends to obtain funding for the military campaign from wealthy Arab states.
Another statement allows us to establish a connection between these events. Earlier, at a Saudi Arabia-funded investment forum in Miami, Trump unexpectedly and sharply criticized Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The US president's use of unethical expressions toward the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, and a few days later - the press secretary's statement about financial support from Arab countries for conducting military operations in Iran suggests that this is specifically about money.
The question arises: is it the right move for Trump to demand financial support from Arab states for military operations in Iran?
