What I wanted to add on air before we changed topics: Congress has a say in arms sales. But this Congress rarely bucks Trump. So, BLUF: We want the Saudi military closer to us than China. Is this deal gonna make a difference among all the other economic & cultural ties and deals? A little.
"China could get a hold of that plane or some of that technology on board and use it for themselves."

The last time President Trump attended a US Open match, as a presidential candidate in 2015, the booing was so loud that multiple news outlets wrote stories about it. He will be back on Sunday, attending the men’s final, prompting a question: What will ABC/ESPN show and how? >>>

🚨 Trump posted today, declaring war on the city of Chicago. So why is the US Open allowing him to attend the men’s tennis final tomorrow — and censoring broadcasters?

Don’t lose sight that Trump has no clear foreign policy for anything, including #NATO. The U.S. is no longer leading, not trusted to honor its commitments, nor attractive to our European allies. His bullying has spurred Europe in a way that only makes us less connected, and thus less secure.

Trump’s trip to the Middle East is revealing more about America’s actual (narrow and outdated) perceptions of the Gulf states than anything. Especially Qatar. My take? There’s work to be done. The gifted 747/AF1 plane story hasn’t helped.
