barbara: saudi arabia and the middle -- saudi arabia and the u.s. have a history, but do we see a stepping up of the thetionship, changing balance of power in the middle east with american influence? it is difficult to say because mr. trump has the propensity to change his mind quite violently. it depends on how mohammad bin salman decides to position himself and whether he is capable of continuing to consolidate his power and his as far as the concern -- he can maintain the type of power he has amassed the past years. powertinues to project and mr. trump will be a great friend to not only mohammad bin salman but saudi arabia. it depends on what happens with iran, whether we can see something happening in the region where iran plays a greater role in bringing peace to yemen, whether the saudi decide to let go of the mediterranean convention in yemen. there are many components what happens next and how washington would position itself in those new dynamics. difficult to foretell. barbara: how do you think these additional u.s. troops in saudi arabia

you mentioned saudi arabia. it seems like themajority of this administration's policies have been run through -- the majority of this is station's policies have been run through saudi arabia. jared kushner is contacting mohammad bin salman. service members are sent to saudi arabia to work equipment that we sold them, meanwhile the support for the civil war in yemen is ongoing, despite the fact that it is a humanitarian catastrophe. how would you think about right -sizing the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia, especially understanding the tensions between the saudis and iran. >> that is the reason why he is sending 15,000 troops is because if he had not made the decision he made in the iran deal, he would not be spending -- sending 15,000 troops to saudi arabia. by the way, does anybody remember -- how do i say it this way? ofdon't have a great history having u.s. troops in saudi arabia is a way to think about this. i, it is as if -- look, if had to define the trump doctrine for you, it would be take really bad
