Trump: "Saudi Arabia has now agreed to spend the necessary money needed to help rebuild Syria"

US President Donald Trump has said Saudi Arabiawill spend the "necessary money" to help reconstruct war-torn Syria, without offering any details.

On Monday, in his latest unexpected foreign policy statement made on Twitter, Trump said Riyadh would step in to support Syria following the US military withdrawal.

"Saudi Arabia has now agreed to spend the necessary money needed to help rebuild Syria, instead of the United States. See?" Trump wrote.

"Isn't it nice when immensely wealthy countries help rebuild their neighbours rather than a Great Country, the US, that is 5,000 miles away. Thanks to Saudi A!"
