Axios: Trump: The Saudis "don't know how to use" U.S. bombs
In August, Saudi-led coalition forces used an American bomb to blow up a school bus in Yemen, reportedly killing at least 51 people, including 40 children.
What he's saying: In his first public comments on that attack, President Trump told "Axios on HBO" that the killings were "a horror show." But he declined to say if it's made him reassess American arms sales to the Saudis.
"I think it's a terrible situation. I hated seeing what happened with the bus and the children cause that's pure — that's a horror show when you see a thing like that, you saw the bus."

WNU Editor: I do not have the information that the U.S. President has, but I suspect that the Saudis do know how to use these weapons, and their loose rules of engagement is what caused the massacre that President Trump is referring to. As for the Saudis, I do not think they care what the U.S. is saying when it comes to the Yemen war .... Saudi Arabia ignores Trump administration on Yemen (Al-Monitor).
