Trump’s move followed a threat by ​Iran to attack Israel’s power plants and those supplying U.S. bases ​across the Gulf region if ​the U.S. targets Iran’s power network.

    I’m not sure Trump would care very much about that, what difference does it make to him if a bunch of Muslims don’t have water?
    He might even see that as a win/win.
    To Trump it’s all about the oil, and increasing oil prices making it harder for him (Republicans) to win the mid terms, even with all the cheating they have planned.

      He definitely cares about what the Saudis want, it’s a big part of why he’s in this mess. He’s taken billions in bribes from dangerous people.

      He doesn’t care about the people for sure, but the people who pull his chain need that water.

        Or Trump just claims the Saudis could do more to help, and their failure to do so makes it their own fault.
