Jan 23 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told President Donald Trump that the kingdom wants to put $600 billion into expanded investment and trade with the United States over the next four years, the Saudi State news agency said early on Thursday.

In a phone call between the two leaders, the crown prince said the Trump administration’s expected reforms could create “unprecedented economic prosperity”, the state news agency reported.

The report said Saudi Arabia wants its investments to capitalize on these conditions. It did not detail the source of the $600 billion, whether it would be public or private spending nor how the money would be deployed.

The investment “could increase further if additional opportunities arise”, the agency quoted Bin Salman as telling Trump.

    “[U]nprecedented economic prosperity” for the worlds wealthiest people, not everyone, they mean.

    They should probably work to finish all those NEOM projects first. They’ve got a pretty big chuck o’ change announced for that already, something around $1.5 Trillion already.

    It’ll be nice when demand for oil gets close to zero and those fucks have to live on their mismanaged investments until they run dry.

    Then when the next human rights thing comes up, point to these and ask ‘still need these?’
