    Listen to his own words, signing the deal.This deal is part of a larger agreement reached in Nov 2016 at the end of Obama's term, but that's irrelevant.

    Saudi arms deal isn't an actual trade deal. Nothing had been agreed upon, its just a list of things that Saudis may potentially be interested in.
    There is no $110 billion deal. Instead, there are a bunch of letters of interest or intent, but not contracts. Many are offers that the defense industry thinks the Saudis will be interested in someday. ... The Defense Security Cooperation Agency, the arms sales wing of the Pentagon, calls them "intended sales." None of the deals identified so far are new, all began in the Obama administration. ... What the Saudis and the administration did is put together a notional package of the Saudi wish list of possible deals and portray that as a deal. Even then the numbers don't add up. It's fake news.
    Trump's $110 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia was all smoke and mirrors

    According to a new article by the Intercept, Saudi Arabia and the UAE had initially planned to invade Qatar in the Summer of 2017, but was later called off due to pressure from then US secretary of state Rex Tillerson. However both countries may have had a role in the removal of Rex Tillerson through lobbying.
