Looks like it might be a classic ( trump ) negotiating ploy though
Start at full blast position and then negotiate.
..and I think there is some merit to the idea that to protect the petro dollar, trump has caved somewhat to the sauds - US first.
Which is really why they also hate Iran, who will trade oil in other currencies:
that has been the petrodollar play in several other wars already
from twila's link:
Larry Summers wrote that “this appears to be the most egregious accounting error in a Presidential budget in the nearly 40 years I have been tracking them
You might take that with a grain of salt:
Larry Summers has done some horrible things to the US and the world to make money.
He is NOT a nice man.
