President Donald Trump said he would wait for Saudi Arabia to say who was behind the attacks on oil plants "and under what terms we would proceed!"
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has described President Donald Trump's response to the drone attacks on two Saudi oil plants as"having our country act as Saudi Arabia's bitch."
Gabbard has attacked Trump's relationship with Saudi Arabia before, using a similar insult in November. Her policy platform includes ending the US's alliance with Saudi Arabia. Story continuesTamara Cofman Wittes, a senior fellow at Brookings Institution's Center for Middle East Policy, also said that Trump's tweet suggested that"we are now subcontracting our national security policy to the crown prince of Saudi Arabia," referring to the de facto ruler of the kingdom, Mohammed bin Salman.
