The Republican front runner candidate Donald Trump , described the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia—United States's closest Arab ally— as a 'fat, and milky' cow and added there is no interest for the United States to support the despotic regime of Saudi and sooner or later should an uprising erupt, we must side with that nation's democratic ambitions.

Mr. Trump continued that he was "definitely not a big fan" of Saudi Arabia, and that America has endured too much to "support Saudi terrorists".

"Well, you know, the primary reason we're with the Saudi Arabia for the time being is because we need the oil. Now we almost don't need their oil so much, we should stop supporting Saudi dictators," AFP quoted Mr. Trump.

"Look, Saudi Arabia is going to be in big trouble pretty soon", added Trump, "and they're going to need help ... We get nothing for it and they're making billions every day.

Criticizing the Bush and Obama Administrations, Trump continued, “the Saudi officials have been using the United States to keep their ridiculous strategies going and to add to their endless wealth; but they have absolutely done nothing positive for us in return. As president, I will not let that happen as a routine.”

The Saudi government has yet to answer to Trump’s remarks on the subject.
