Mike Pompeo touts coalition with Saudia Arabia and UAE

The Trump administration has and continues to work with a number of other countries in the region, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, both of whom have proven to be reliable allies in the U.S.'s mission to tame Iran and prevent it from developing nuclear weapons.

While in Saudi Arabia last month for a meeting with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described the duo of countries as "two great allies in the challenge that Iran presents" and unveiled plans to "build out a global coalition, a coalition not only throughout the Gulf states but in Asia and in Europe that understands this challenge and that is prepared to push back against the world’s largest state sponsor of terror."
