Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Says He Loves Working With Donald Trump
Prince Mohammad bin Salman says OPEC is doing everything possible to prevent oil prices from rising
Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman has responded back to Donald Trump’s recent remarks that claimed that the king won’t last in power for even two weeks without the US military support and demanded that he should pay for it. The US President made the comments while addressing a rally in Mississippi on Tuesday.
“I love working with him,” Prince Mohammed said in a recent interview with Bloomberg published on Friday. “You know, you have to accept that any friend will say good things and bad things.”
“We believe that all the armaments we have from the United States of America are paid for, it’s not free armament. So ever since the relationship started between Saudi Arabia and the United States of America, we’ve bought everything with money,” the Saudi Arabian Crown Prince added.
Notably, Trump and King Salman talked with each other on the phone last week and discussed ways on how to maintain oil supplies to ensure market stability and global economic growth. Last month, Trump urged Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to hike oil production levels to prevent further price rise ahead of the November mid-term elections. The demand for reduction in oil prices comes as the White House prepares to reinstate sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme.
Prince Mohammed bin Salman said that OPEC is doing everything possible thing they can to prevent oil prices from rising.
“The request that America made to Saudi Arabia and other OPEC countries is to be sure that if there is any loss of supply from Iran, that we will supply that,” Mohammed Bin Salman said during the interview. “And that happened.”
President Donald Trump led administration shares a very friendly connection with Saudi Arabia. In fact, President Trump chose to visit Saudi Arabia for his maiden international trip as president last year.
