MR. PRESCOTT: […] Obviously, the relationship between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia is longstanding and deep and broad, and we expect the two leaders will have a lot to talk about in their meeting.
[…] Obviously, as Ben mentioned, we expect the President will — and the King will want to talk about the conclusion of the Iran negotiations and the Iran deal. We’ve obviously been consulting closely with our partners in Saudi Arabia […]
[…]
So we’ll be expecting the two leaders to discuss, obviously, our approaches to these issues and others, […]
Obviously, the meeting later this week will be a good opportunity for the President and King Salman to review the work […]
And obviously, Secretary of State John Kerry has been in the region meeting with his Gulf counterparts in recent weeks. […]
Obviously, throughout these efforts, we’ve been looking to support Saudi efforts to build their own capabilities […]
[…] We obviously don’t agree on every detail of our respective policy approaches, but when we do disagree, we discuss these issues frankly and directly, and seek ways to bridge gaps and work towards shared goals.
[…]
MR. PRESCOTT: Well, Ben, I would just add one additional note, which is to say this is a conversation that is not merely something that began — obviously been a feature of our longstanding security cooperation.
[…]
MR. RHODES: […]There are obviously many different Saudi defense capabilities and relationships to U.S. contractors that are ongoing.
[…]
MR. PRESCOTT: […] We all need to continue to work towards reaching a political solution based on the GCC Initiative, which, of course, includes the Saudis, the outcomes of the Yemeni national dialogue, and, obviously, relevant U.N. Security Council resolutions, including U.N. Security Council Resolution 2216.
[…] So I think the President and the King will have an opportunity to obviously discuss this issue in depth.
[…]
MR. RHODES: […] On your second question, Saudi Arabia has obviously been a part of the counter-ISIL coalition that includes taking direct action in Syria against ISIL targets. […]
Il me semble assez transparent que, si tu ressens autant le besoin de répéter « évidemment » dans chaque phrase, c’est que les choses ne sont pas du tout aussi… évidentes.
