Behind a paywall, but basically it's from Saudi Arabia staying at Trump hotels as part of an effort to lobby against a terrorism-related law, the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA), which would allow US people to sue other governments for terrorist attacks.
The best part of Trump being bigly in bed with the Saudis is that his cultists spent the entire election cycle saying the Clinton Foundation taking money from the Saudis showed Hillary was corrupt, against gay and womens rights, supports terrorism etc...Obviously now the crickets are deafening.
