CNN’s Zeleny: Unlike Obama, Saudis ‘Embracing’ Trump By ‘Rolling out the Red Carpet’

EXCERPT:

ZELENY: "The leaders here, the government here likes the idea of his policies at least, largely how he has spoken out against the nuclear agreement in Iran, largely what they hope his policies will be. But, Jake, so interesting, he’s not delivered on any of that. He said he was going to erase it on day one. That hasn’t happened. But they are embracing him here and indeed rolling out the red carpet, unlike President Obama had, even eight years ago during his first visit here in June of ‘09. As we were driving through the streets of Riyadh, Jake, just the billboards of giant pictures of this president, a giant image of Trump on his hotel last night, he loves all of this, of course. And many of the foreign leaders he’s been meeting with are showering him, you know, with congratulations. It is, of course, an attempt to reset the relationship. The question is, can President Trump take back all that rhetoric or make them forget? I think it’s very much an open question."
