After a day of announcements, a tuxedo-strapped Trump made another during his opening remarks, delivered from behind a gold eagle embossed podium in the East Room: the United States is designating Saudi Arabia as a major non-NATO ally.
“I’m just telling you now for the first time because I wanted to keep a little secret for tonight,” he told the crowd, ranging from Saudi dignitaries to business heavyweights, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Apple CEO Tim Cook, of Salman. “I just heard him say, ‘Oh, that’s nice.’ That’s another point you won today.”
Trump alluded to his star-studded audience, joking that he and Salman had attracted “so many other unbelievable dignitaries, I won’t talk too much about you because we’ll be here all night.”
