He'll send Jared to 'very, very seriously' slap them on the wrist and tell them that as punishment they will have to buy another ten or twenty billion worth of armaments and send a larger delegation to stay at Trump Tower the next time they come to New York.

(56,828 posts)$100 billion is big money, but amounts to a very small portion of our total $19 trillion economy. And, if the arms don't get sold to the Saudis, I'm sure somebody else will buy them.
Trump just wants to sell to the Saudis because he & Jared probably get the best kickbacks from them.

Not why he's there.
