Trump Massively Exaggerated the Importance of Saudi Arms Sales, Says Think Tank
Saudi arms sales provide a fraction of U.S. jobs and revenue that Donald Trump claimed they did, according to a new report. The report by the Center for International Policy, a Washington think tank, says Saudi arms sales account for fewer than 20,000 U.S. jobs a year—less than one-twentieth of the employment boost Trump has claimed. The president has estimated the rewards from sales to the Saudi regime at $110 billion and as many as 600,000 American jobs.
