This was already in the works before Trump even won the election. This appears to be more theater than anything else.
And note that Saudi money is involved.
Indeed. Could you imagine the reactions this would get if it was Hillary instead of Trump?
Luckily, she isn't president and we won't have to worry about that.
Most people do not like to think about their own hypocrisy, so I can see why they wouldn't worry about it.

Some investments from SoftBank’s fund, which was unveiled in October, were probably destined for the U.S. anyway, given the nation’s leadership in the global technology industry. But Son hadn’t previously committed to creating a specific amount of jobs through the investment vehicle.
Trump was the one to announce the job-creation pledge, taking to Twitter after a meeting with Son Tuesday. “Masa said he would never do this had we not won the election!” the president-elect tweeted.
Son is known for making bold projections about the future. In 2010, he laid out a 300-year plan for his company that involved investing in 5,000 companies by 2040 to give his unborn successors a base to build on.
SoftBank and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund unveiled their new venture weeks before the Nov. 8 presidential election. The two have been talking to other investors for the $30 billion they need to reach their $100 billion goal. When plans for the fund were first announced, Son said that he planned on being the biggest investor in technology over the next decade.

No one said Saudi is good now. They're buttering us up because knows if he don't pamper Trump bad things will happen. Remember Saudi king didn't have much faith in Trump and Trump cant stand him. We will know if he bows to him like others. Nothing wrong with trying to work out problems and/or differences, this proves Trump can have compassion and understanding.. and move to better America and bring strong foreign policies. Trump already made clear he don't take no # though.
