Trump Orders Troops and Weapons to Saudi Arabia in Message of Deterrence to Iran

The United States is sending about 3,000
additional troops to Saudi Arabia in the latest military response by the
Trump administration after it accused Iran of attacks last month on
Saudi oil facilities, the Pentagon said on Friday. The
move came only five days after President Trump said that his desire to
terminate America’s “endless wars” led to his decision to pull back from
the border area between Syria and Turkey about 50 troops who were
working to create a “safe zone” between Turkish and Kurdish troops.
