Saudi Arabia pays cash, Trump boasted in the Oval Office during a press gaggle.
We would certainly help them, Trump said, noting that theyve been a great ally, they spend $400 billion in our country over the last number of years. $400 billion, thats a million-and-a-half jobs,
Moments earlier Trump admitted that if the U.S. engages in military action against the country of Saudi Arabias choosing, Saudi Arabia would be very much involved in paying for that.
This is something thats much different than other presidents would mention, Trump said, repeatedly saying the Saudis would be very much involved, and that includes payment.

Trump is literally renting out the U.S. Armed Forces, and admitting it. No mention what happens if and when any U.S. service members die as a result of his freelancing out our troops.
Vox co-founder Matthew Yglesias offered this disturbing tidbit, too:

(Bloomberg) -- Donald Trump risks a political backlash if he retaliates against Iran over a weekend strike on Saudi Arabian oil facilities after campaigning on promises to withdraw the U.S. from foreign wars.
A picture taken on Sept. 15, 2019, shows an Aramco oil facility near al-Khurj area, just outside the Saudi capital Riyadh. A picture taken on Sept. 15, 2019, shows an Aramco oil facility near al-Khurj area, just outside the Saudi capital Riyadh.
Trump tweeted Monday that the U.S. is locked and loaded, raising bipartisan alarm after the weekend attack that halved Saudi oil production. Speaking later to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said: Its certainly looking that way at this moment, and we pretty much already know who did it.
U.S. security officials met Monday morning. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has blamed Iran, though Riyadh is stopping short of directly doing so. Iran denied involvement. Trump said diplomacy with Iran isnt exhausted and that Pompeo will be heading to Saudi Arabia.
The prospect of a strike on Iran in retaliation for an attack that didnt target Americans or even a country with which the U.S. has a defense treaty is proving divisive in Washington. Trump said the U.S. is prepared for any conflict, but that Saudi Arabia would need to play a significant part in any action.......................
