KARACHI: Speaking on March 27 at the Future Investment Initiative Priority summit in Miami, a Saudi-backed event tied to the kingdom’s investment apparatus, US President Donald Trump veered from triumphalism into mockery, describing Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in terms that would be extraordinary in peacetime and reckless in war.
In a transcript of the remarks published after the event, Trump said of the Saudi crown prince: “He didn’t think he’d be kissing my ass.” He followed it with another line that was no less revealing: “But now he has to be nice to me.”
The language was crude, but the larger significance lies elsewhere. Trump was not simply humiliating a partner in public. He was speaking as though Saudi dependence on Washington had become an open wartime fact, something to be flaunted rather than concealed.

BEIRUT — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed new, 10-year defense cooperation deals with Qatar and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and said a similar agreement would be reached with United Arab Emirates in the following days.
“We are talking about a 10-year partnership. We have already signed the agreement with Saudi Arabia, and we have just signed a similar 10-year agreement with Qatar,” Zelenskyy told reporters on Saturday, according to Reuters.
The Qatari Ministry of Defense said online that the “agreement includes collaboration in technological fields, development of joint projects, defense investments and the exchange of expertise in countering missiles and unmanned aerial systems.”
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Defense also announced on X on Friday that an agreement was signed with its Ukrainian counterpart “on defense procurement arrangements,” but no further details were shared.
On Friday Zelenskyy added that he met with Ukrainian military experts, who have been in Saudi Arabia for more than a week.
“The guys reported on the first results of the team’s work and conclusions both at the operational and broader levels,” he said on Instagram. “The main task of our experts in protecting the sky in this region is to identify problematic issues and determine what changes are needed to strengthen the protection of people and life from Iranian ‘shahids’ and missiles.”
He added that Kyiv is ready “to support the protection of those who help us defend our independence. We discussed the key points of what is needed for greater protection of the sky in Saudi Arabia, and this primarily concerns approaches to shooting down drones. Ukraine is ready for long-term and mutually beneficial cooperation.”

The Saudis see the writing on the wall
The era of the US as a trustworthy partner is over so they are looking elsewhere
They also had previously signed a defense agreement with nuke-armed Pakistan and had also reestablished diplomatic relations withe Iran
All thanks to Trumpy

That was the petrodollar deal for 50 years… Gulf nations price oil in USD and invest excess funds in the U.S. economy, in return the U.S. provided security and kept Hormuz open.
Trump killed the deal.

Crown Prince loves Trump
This story of impulsively throwing together an international agreement in a few hours is not credible.
