Watters Defends Trump’s Saudi Relations, Criticizes ABC Reporter

Jesse Watters, on his show "Jesse Watters Primetime," addressed the controversy surrounding an ABC reporter’s line of questioning towards Donald Trump and Mohammed bin Salman regarding the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi. Watters argued that the U.S. benefits from its relationship with Saudi Arabia through oil, military bases, intelligence, and investments. He further claimed that the reporter’s inquiry was hypocritical, considering Disney (ABC’s parent company) has business ventures in Saudi Arabia. Watters also drew parallels to past U.S. alliances, emphasizing that America has often partnered with nations with less-than-stellar human rights records when it served U.S. interests.

He highlighted that Trump is helping Gaza rebuild and making the Saudis foot the bill.

Watters argues that the alliance is strategically important for the U.S., citing benefits such as oil, military bases, and intelligence sharing.

He accuses the reporter of hypocrisy, pointing to Disney’s business interests in Saudi Arabia and suggesting she previously offered favorable questions to President Biden.

He mentions alliances with Saddam Hussein and Stalin as examples of the U.S. partnering with nations with questionable human rights records.
