Trump claims Saudis will pay to rebuild Syria
President Donald Trump claimed on Monday (Dec. 24) that Saudi Arabia has agreed to pay money to rebuild Syria amid criticism of his plan to remove US troops from Syria, Dailymail reported.

'Saudi Arabia has now agreed to spend the necessary money needed to help rebuild Syria, instead of the United States. See? Isn't it nice when immensely wealthy countries help rebuild their neighbors rather than a Great Country, the US, that is 5000 miles away. Thanks to Saudi A!,' he tweeted.

He offered no details, such as how much money they will spend, what it will be spent on, who exactly it will go to and when it will be given.

Trump has long bemoaned the amount of money the US spends abroad and complained that other countries don't pay their share.

'...We are substantially subsidizing the Militaries of many very rich countries all over the world, while at the same time these countries take total advantage of the US, and our taxpayers, on trade. General Mattis did not see this as a problem. I do, and it is being fixed!,' he tweeted earlier Monday. 

The president spent much of Monday tweeting, including 10 tweets in four hours on a variety of subjects, including the government shut down, funding for his border wall, the resignation/firing of Defense Secretary James Mattis, and Syria.

Trump's latest tweet on Syria comes as some lawmakers from his own Republican Party were critical of his decision to pull the 2,000 US troops out of Syria.
