Saudi 'optimistic' about Trump's rule: foreign minister

"Wanting to defeat ISIS: absolutely. Wanting to contain Iran and prevent it from causing mischief through its negative policies in the region: absolutely, we have been calling for this for years," he said.
"Our interests align," he said, declaring that Washington and Riyadh also shared the same objectives on Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, terrorism and "energy issues".
"We look forward to working with them (Trump's team) in all the areas that are of interest or concern to both of us," he said.
