The man who once openly described Saudi Arabia as a &#8220;cash cow&#8221; has come back in the same spirit \u2014 but with demands that defy imagination: a new arms deal worth over $100 billion, and possibly additional demands reaching a trillion dollars, according to leaks from his campaign insiders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1084\" data-end=\"1447\">Since leaving the White House, Trump has never been far from Saudi memory \u2014 or from Mohammed bin Salman\u2019s political calculations. The world vividly remembers the scene when Trump brandished a chart of arms deals in the White House \u2014 a reminder that relations with Trump were never a genuine alliance between nations, but rather a money-for-protection arrangement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1449\" data-end=\"1942\">The new deal does not appear innocent. Saudi Arabia is moving toward purchasing a massive weapons package that includes modern aircraft, air defense systems, precision missiles, and advanced surveillance technology. However, according to American reports, the deal goes beyond mere arms sales; Trump reportedly seeks a complete political realignment in the Gulf, using Mohammed bin Salman as his key gateway, particularly as some Arab capitals hesitate to openly support his election campaign.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"rtl\" lang=\"ar\">\ud83d\udd34\u064a\u062a\u0648\u0627\u0635\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0644\u0628 \ud83d\udc04.. \u0627\u0633\u062a\u0646\u0632\u0627\u0641 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0645\u0644\u0643\u0629 \u0645\u0642\u0627\u0628\u0644 \u062d\u0645\u0627\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0634.. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D8%AA%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%A8?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u062a\u0631\u0627\u0645\u0628<\/a> \u0644\u0627 \u064a\u0639\u0648\u062f \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u064a\u0627\u0636 \u0643\u0635\u062f\u064a\u0642.. \u0628\u0644 \u0643\u062c\u0628\u0627\u064a\u0629! \u0623\u0643\u062b\u0631 \u0645\u0646 100 \u0645\u0644\u064a\u0627\u0631 \u062f\u0648\u0644\u0627\u0631 \u0641\u064a \u0635\u0641\u0642\u0629 \u0633\u0644\u0627\u062d \u062c\u062f\u064a\u062f\u0629\u060c \u0648\u0634\u0631\u0648\u0637 \u0645\u062c\u0647\u0648\u0644\u0629..<\/p>\n<p>\u0641\u0645\u0646 \u064a\u0643\u062a\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u064a\u0643\u061f \u0648\u0645\u0646 \u064a\u062d\u0645\u064a \u0645\u0646\u061f\ud83d\udc47 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Q0hmViGrHZ\">pic.twitter.com\/Q0hmViGrHZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u0648\u0637\u0646. \u064a\u063a\u0631\u062f \u062e\u0627\u0631\u062c \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0631\u0628 (@watanserb_news) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/watanserb_news\/status\/1915792106234253362?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 25, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"75\" data-end=\"143\"><strong data-start=\"75\" data-end=\"143\">Trump\u2019s Return: Saudi Wealth at Risk Amid New Political Bargains<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1944\" data-end=\"2161\">More alarming, the deal may carry political conditions affecting Saudi sovereignty: deeper coordination with Israel, reduced ties with China, and financial and logistical support for Trump\u2019s upcoming presidential bid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2163\" data-end=\"2444\">Saudi Arabia, having distanced itself from Biden\u2019s administration due to cooled relations and the collapse of normalization efforts with Israel, now seems more ready than ever to deal with Trump again \u2014 despite his blunt insults and public disdain toward Riyadh during his rallies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2446\" data-end=\"2612\">While some view the deal as cold political pragmatism, others see it as an organized draining of the kingdom\u2019s wealth under the slogan: &#8220;Pay to protect your thrones.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2614\" data-end=\"2747\">Will Mohammed bin Salman pay the price once again?<br data-start=\"2664\" data-end=\"2667\" \/>Will the Saudi throne become collateral in the hands of the next U.S. president?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2749\" data-end=\"2893\">Heavy questions are stacking up \u2014 with every barrel of oil sold and every arms deal signed \u2014 while Trump smiles, and the milking saga continues.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"\" data-start=\"380\" data-end=\"399\"><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watan-In a scene thick with heavy irony, former U.S. President Donald Trump returns to the Gulf, once again extending his milking bucket toward Riyadh\u2019s coffers.
