Wasn't one of his reasonings that its so predelant that you can get a mcdonald's anywhere at a drop and no one would be able to do anything to your food because they Wouldn't know which one you would use.
So now there will be one mcdonald's in the whole country they know he will use... Not very safe anymore.
Saudi Arabia wouldn't dare do anything to Trump when it hosts and is surrounded with US bases and troops.
I don’t think any nation hostile to democracy/US interests would dare do anything to Trump in general. Something like a third of Americans voted to destroy their own country. Why would the Saudis want us to not shoot ourselves in the foot?
How much was paid out over Khashoggi’s death?
The US doesn't really care about journalists, they killed them in Iraq and Afghanistan, and their weapons have killed 215 journalists so far in Palestine. It was always about extracting tributes and concessions from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia just doesn't want to be turned into another Iraq or Libya or Syria or Palestine or any country that got on the bad side of the US. The US is known to hold a grudge, just look at the 67-year embargo on Cuba.
