Ben Norton reports on the latest US pressure on Saudi Arabia

The US demands that Saudi Arabia "distance itself–economically and militarily–from China"

The US wants Saudi to:
– reject the (remote) possibility of a Chinese military base,
– avoid Huawei tech,
and most importantly
– "use US dollars, not Chinese currency, to price oil sales" pic.twitter.com/Sz1YZaCzm9
