is removing its patriot anti-missile systems and other weapons from saudi arabia that's happening as it scales back an arms buildup that began when tension with the ron increased last year saudi oil installations are among some of the facilities being affected and the u.s. that weapons and fighter jets after saudi aramco plants were attacked last september as of u.s. military personnel will be reassigned when asked about this or poor president trump would not give specific answers well i don't want to talk about it but we're doing some things will make it a lot of moves in the middle east and elsewhere we're doing a lot of things all over the world militarily we've been taken advantage of all over the world our military and. in the sense that we are and this is nothing to do with saudi arabia this has to do with other countries frankly much more we have the most powerful military in the world here's a quick look at the recent moves by the white house in the middle east chuck reportedly warned that if saudi arabia did not cut oil supplies he would not be
