TRUMP EXTORTS THE GULF FOR MORE MONEY!!!

"If you want the war to continue — $5 trillion. If you want it to stop — $2.5 trillion."

Omani journalist and international affairs researcher Salem Al-Jahoori on BBC Arabic confirms reports of U.S. pressure on Gulf Cooperation Council states to pay up, either way.

According to leaks Al-Jahoori cites, Trump is demanding GCC states pay $5 trillion to sustain the war, or $2.5 trillion as a fee for stopping it, framed as payment for "what has been accomplished."

Protection racket without any protection.
