Trump’s fawning embrace of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince is not diplomacy — it is a moral collapse. The CIA has already concluded that Mohammed bin Salman ordered the brutal murder and dismemberment of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Fifteen of the nineteen hijackers on 9/11 were Saudi nationals. These facts alone should demand the highest level of American scrutiny, not red carpets and billion-dollar praise.
Yet once again, money trumps human rights. Trump is elevating Saudi Arabia to “major non-NATO ally” status, expanding arms sales, and celebrating vast Saudi investments — all while shrugging off a regime with a documented record of repression, torture, and political killings.
Even more troubling is the unmistakable overlap between U.S. policy and Trump family financial gain. From Saudi-financed golf ventures to business deals linked to Saudi investment funds, the line between national interest and personal profit grows dangerously thin.
America cannot claim moral leadership while excusing murder for money. Congress and the public must demand transparency — and accountability — before U.S. foreign policy becomes a family business.
