"Modernization" in the News

After showing support of modernizing the kingdom in Saudi Arabia, President Trump speaks with the King Salman and his son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Over the phone, he thanks them for their support on fighting terrorism in the USA, purchasing military equipment and their calls for tolerance and moderation in Saudi society. Both the king and his son ensure the people of Saudi Arabia of a hopeful future, “so the world can be safe from evil” the White House said. Although, a rivalry occurs between Trump and Prince Alwaleed bin Talal who considers Trump, “a disgrace not only to the GOP but to all America.” Although the White House was not certain whether Trump’s previous call should be interpreted as an endorsement of the arrests, he was still thankful for the things King Salman and his son did for Saudi Arabia and its modernization.
