Kushner said in his memoirs that the Saudis’ reception of Trump was full, as F-16s flew, cannons were fired, Trump participated in the “Ardah” dance, and even then US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who was against the visit, enjoyed the welcome received by the American delegation.
Kushner added, “When we arrived at the Saudi royal court, King Salman and Trump oversaw the completion of a $110 billion arms sale aimed at offsetting the cost of American spending in the Middle East,” he said.
Kushner said that during Trump’s meeting with GCC leaders, “economic advisor Gary Cohn passed a note to the president that read, ‘Unusually, you’re the poorest man at the table,’ and the president couldn’t contain his smile,” according to Kushner.
