Trump suggests Arab countries will pay contributions

President Donald Trump was asked by a reporter if he would make Arab countries pay for US actions, to which he responded, 'I think they are going to make that contribution.' This comment suggests Trump expects financial support from Arab nations for American initiatives. The exchange occurred during a press interaction where Trump also remarked that 'the blockade is maybe more powerful than the bombing, if you want to know the truth,' referring to ongoing US operations against Iran.
