Saudi Arabia to Invest $20 Billion in Infrastructure, Mostly in U.S.

























This article had my attention because as i was reading it said that a company that goes by the name of blackstone was the one that worked with them first so that they can help out with the infrastructure in the us. Now the first surprise was that Trump was supporting them, because he has a problem with terrorist and hes big on racial discrimination. Then as i kept on reading, it stated that trump line up 110 million dollars in arms deals. This is one thing that has been turned into another. Trump is planning something big if he has to spend that much money on an arms deal. We are at a time where we must fear what his next steps are because the decisions hes making looks like he is trying to start another war. What are you guys views on this article ?

  1. Trump did this so we can get more money into our economy because many of the companies we have had left our country to go back to their own home. This is great because the number of companies that left is crazy and we need more money into our country because those companies left.

  2. I had to do some extra research, but after finding out what arms deals was, I understand that the money being put aside is for military action. An article online said the generous amount of money put towards the arm deals will bring misery to Yemen. This shows that the money put into military can lead to possible attacks on Yemen or anybody that is a potential threat to Trump. I feel like this article is important because it lets us know that he is receiving money and where he plans to put it, but it doesn't say what will come from it. This is something that Is worth keeping our eye on.

    1. I appreciate Justin going above and beyond and providing extra information regarding the arms deal. Trump has been funding a lot of foreign policies such as his travel ban with money that could be used to fund the programs that got there budgets cut. We should be wary that Trump is funding a lot of military actions but has yet to tell us a solid plan of attack or what he is doing.

  3. I thank Justin for making the definition of arms deal clearer. I think that America has enough weapons of mad destruction and honestly we don't need anymore things that could end the world potentially I think that it's good that trump is trying to put money in our economy and helping us
