Saudi Arabia said Friday it shut down a major pipeline a day after it was attacked by drones, and Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels captured a strategic island at the southern entrance to the Red Sea, two officials said, opening a new front in the Iran war.

The Houthis made their biggest territorial gains in years along the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, one of the world’s key shipping lanes. The advance could boost Iran’s strategy of driving up world oil and gas prices to pressure the United States.

Saudi Arabia said it had shut down the East-West pipeline after it was attacked the day before. The Saudi Ministry of Energy called the shutdown “a precautionary measure.”

The Saudi Foreign Ministry blamed the attack on several drones that came from Iraq. In a statement carried by the state-run Saudi Press Agency, the kingdom said it would not respond to give the Iraqi government “an opportunity to take the necessary measures.”

So where is Trump in this Middle East crisis? Why, over in Ireland at his golf course for the Irish Open with a wink and a nod! He is visiting Prime Minister Micheál Martin, who invited Trump to watch the Irish Open. ABC News reported,

President Donald Trump is taking a break this weekend from the pressures of the Iran war and American voter anger over the conflict’s economic fallout by indulging in one of his favorite pastimes: golf.

Daniel Mulhall, a former Irish ambassador to the United States, said Irish and U.S. officials will see Trump’s trip “as a happy opportunity for him to have a little bit of R&R in a place that he really loves, which is his golf course in Doonbeg.”

Fiddling on the Fairway: While Global Energy Burns!

He is calling this a business trip because he's talking business with...

Trump plans to sit down on Saturday to talk about trade and international issues with Martin and will also have a brief meeting with President Catherine Connolly, a progressive campaigner who was elected Ireland's ceremonial head of state last year. He’ll give remarks to business leaders at the U.S. ambassador's residence, the White House said. Then he'll travel to Doonbeg to attend the tournament, and possibly present the winner’s trophy on Sunday.

According to Al Jazeera, in Ireland roughly 69 percent of the public—do not support or welcome the visit,

So what does this all mean? It means we, the taxpayers, foot the bill because it is a business trip! The Irish Star estimates it will cost $23 million for just the Irish portion of the bill. The cost to fly Air Force One is not in that amount, and his stay at his hotel is billed to us—even though it is his hotel, he bills the government not just for his stay, but also for the Secret Service's stay.

Meanwhile, the Houthis threaten to close down the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea, but Trump is swinging the clubs like nothing is happening! Just like Nero when Rome was burning.

During Trump's first term, the cost of his golf trips is estimated that it cost the taxpayers around $150 million!
