Saudi King laments Syrian war destruction
 

RIYADH: Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz was overheard lamenting the Syrian war to the visiting US President Donald Trump, who ordered air strikes against a Syrian airfield in April in response to a chemical ******* attack allegedly by government forces against civilians.

"Syria too used to be one of the most advanced countries. We used to get our professors from Syria. They served our kingdom. Unfortunately, they too brought destruction to their own country. You can destroy a country in mere seconds, but it takes a lot of effort," he said.

Trump´s response could **t be heard. The president’s decision to make his first official trip abroad to Saudi Arabia, followed by Israel, countries which both share his antagonism towards Iran, marks a contrast with Obama´s approach. Trump’s criticism of the nuclear deal Iran reached with the US and five other world powers in 2015 pleases both Saudi Arabia and Israel, who accused Obama on “going soft” on Tehran.
