"We look forward to working with the Trump administration and we are very positive about the future of the US-Saudi relationship."

He also said he looks forward to cooperating with the Trump Cabinet, and that he is "optimistic."

#1  Funny, because there's also this:

Kuwait's foreign minister will make a rare visit to Tehran on Wednesday to deliver a message to President Hassan Rouhani on a "basis of dialogue" between Gulf Arab states and arch-rival Iran, Kuwait's state news agency reported.

The visit comes days after Rouhani said countries including Kuwait had offered to mediate in the escalating feud between Shi'ite Muslim Iran and Sunni power Saudi Arabia.
