Congress Is Considering A Bill Enabling Anti-Trust Litigation Against OPEC Congress is stupid and would take an action which would damage our primary goals in the Middle East. Trump will not allow this at this time. We need to gain the support of the House of Saud while we address the Iranian nuclear threat. Eliminating the Iranian nuclear threat is more important than punishing OPEC and Trump recognizes this. Congress, however, is made up of flapdoodles and charlatans so trust them to do the wrong thing every time. More below. "But with Trump’s determination to do things differently, and his willingness to rip up international agreements, OPEC should be getting scared. One thing OPEC member nations ought to fear is attracting too much attention from Trump, as he is quick to lay blame, and is not afraid of shaking things up, even if that means disrupting the status quo."
OPEC should be scared, but Trump wants the best outcome for all parties. One thing so many misunderstand is that Trump is not a guy who will take the best deal for the US if it screws the other parties. Trump's world is a small one, and he has to live with the people he makes deals with and come back to the negotiating table and negotiate new deals. Trump tries to balance two difficult problems getting the best deal he can and making sure everyone else gets a deal they can live with and will be willing to come to the negotiation table in the future. Obama would throw anyone under the bus, which made dealing with him impossible. That got Gaddafi killed and was a key reason Presidents in the past could not reach agreements with Kim. Gaddafi foolishly trusted Bush, who was replaced by the incompetent and odious Obama who bombed Libya but was unwilling to stabilize Libya after Gaddafi's fall. The result was the death of Gaddafi, but also the arming of myriad Islamist insurgent groups who spread out over parts of north and central Africa. Trump will structure any agreements so that Kim is protected because Trump realizes that trust is a crucial component in getting these tyrants to be less tyrannical. They must trust they will not be killed or they will keep being tyrants. This is kindergarten level foreign policy, but Obama couldn't grasp it, and Crooked Hillary couldn't as well, all she could do was cackle at the death of Gaddafi like the sociopath she is. Expect Trump to thread the needle finding the best results for the Saudis, OPEC, and the USA.
