On July 13, local time, US President Trump said that the US is protecting many wealthy countries in the Middle East, so it should receive compensation from the relevant countries. Trump named countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait, saying that the US is maintaining the security of these countries and Israel. He said that since the US invests money locally, it is appropriate for protected countries to share related costs. Trump also said that the US is rich in petroleum resources, and “including oil from Venezuela and other places, the US holds more than half of the world's oil supply,” so the US itself “does not rely on Middle Eastern oil” — America's actions in the Middle East are “mainly to protect allies.”
