Trump hoodwinked by MBS in White House meeting

President Trump was hoodwinked by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) during their meeting in the White House on November 18th.

An insider reporting on their meeting claims:

“Trump and MBS were civil but the conversation was tough, one source with knowledge of the meeting and a U.S. official said.

• "The best way to say it is disappointment and irritation. The president really wants them to join the Abraham Accord. He tried very hard to talk him. It was an honest discussion. But MBS is a strong man. He stood his ground," the source said.
• MBS demanded that in return for a peace deal with Saudi Arabia, Israel should agree to "an irreversible, credible and time-bound path" for a Palestinian state. MBS also made that clear publicly, after the meeting.
• Israel's government opposes any path for a Palestinian state.
• "MBS never said no to normalization. The door is open for doing it later. But the two-state solution is an issue," a U.S. official said.”
