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.

Has anyone seen any independent corroboration for this? I've been looking and having seen anything.
You could probably find something in the Arabic media.
As context, this claim is done not by Iran but by an Omani journalist to a Western media which is the BBC. You could crosscheck by searching for that specific video segment elsewhere.
