ALBAWABA - US President Donald Trump recently hosted Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince, Mohammed Bin Salman, at the White House, which led to several awkward interactions caught on camera. The President grabbed MBS's hands multiple times and boasted about the US's attack on Iran.
According to Al Jazeera, Trump warmly greeted Mohammed Bin Salman with a red carpet, marching bands and a military flyover event. The meeting discussed Saudi Arabia's possibility of joining the Abraham Accords, the US attack on Iran, and Saudi Arabia's $1 trillion investment in the US.
As Trump reached out to grab the Crown Prince's left hand, he said, "I grabbed that hand. I don't give a hell where that hand's been. I grabbed that hand," as he took shots at former US President Joe Biden, stating further that "Trump doesn't give fist bumps."
