Shocking remarks from Trump to Saudi Crown Prince Salman: 'He never thought he would kiss my a**'
U.S. President Donald Trump brought both international relations and his personal views to the forefront with sensational statements made at a Saudi-backed investment forum in Miami. The expressions used by Trump and the countries he targeted have sparked controversy.
U.S. President Donald Trump spoke at an investment event held in Miami and supported by Saudi Arabia. Using harsh language regarding Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Trump said, "He never thought he would kiss my a**, never... and now he has to be nice to me... he better be nice to me, he has to be..."
Adopting an aggressive tone, Trump also emphasized the importance of the U.S. military presence in the region. He reminded the audience that American defense systems were active against Iranian missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia. He expressed that countries in the region must maintain good relations with the U.S.
Trump also stated that Saudi Arabia should join the Abraham Accords signed with Israel.
''I DON'T LIKE SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE''
At the same event, Trump made surprising statements about his own social relationships. Clearly stating that he does not enjoy spending time with successful people, Trump summarized his unique approach with the words, "I hang out with unsuccessful people because it makes me feel better. I hate men who are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people who like to listen to my successes."
Furthermore, expressing that he does not shy away from talking to journalists, Trump said, "You can talk to me about anything. If you want to talk about sex, I'll talk."
A NEW STRAIT: ''TRUMP STRAIT''
Another striking topic of his speech concerned the Strait of Hormuz. Emphasizing that it is essential for Iran to reopen the strategic waterway to oil transport, Trump expressed the idea of naming it after himself with the following words: "They have to open the Trump Strait. I mean, the Hormuz... Excuse me... I am so sorry — what a terrible mistake."
These statements have reopened the debate on the U.S. president's approach to crises in the region.
TARGETED CUBA
In the finale of his speech, Trump pointed to Cuba as the next stop for his military targets. His words, "The next target is Cuba. Pretend I didn't say that. Please, press, forget I said that. But the next target is Cuba," led to comments that this could become a new agenda item in U.S. foreign policy.
