“You read where we're sending some troops to Saudi Arabia. That’s true. Because we want to help Saudi Arabia. They have been a very good ally. They've agreed to pay for the cost of those troops. They've agreed to pay fully for the cost of everything we're doing over there. That’s something you have never heard before, I think, as long as you’ve been standing out there. I think you -- the media has never heard that before. But Saudi Arabia has graciously agreed to pay for the full cost of everything we're doing for them.”
