US President Donald Trump publicly mocked Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, saying he “didn’t think he’d be kissing my ass” as relations with Riyadh evolve during the 2026 Iran war. Trump made the remark at an investment forum in Florida, recounting a conversation about his strong leadership comeback and implying the Crown Prince now has to show deference. Despite the crude jab, Trump also praised MBS as “a fantastic man” and “a warrior,” highlighting continued strategic ties as the US‑Israel conflict with Iran reshapes Middle East dynamics. (PC: AP)
