In return, Saudi Arabia is likely to announce significant investments in infrastructure projects in America (perhaps as much as US $40 billion) and that 140 1297722 with Israel. Another difficulty lies with how Trump will handle Iran, now that he will reposition the U.S. squarely with Saudi Arabia .

But what 140 1297814 involved in supporting and supplying weapons to the Houthi rebels, attempting to create a Hezbollah-like force that can harass Saudi Arabia across the border.
