Donald Trump has said the US was \u201clocked and loaded\u201d and to ready respond to drone attacks on a petroleum processing facility in Saudi Arabia, saying the US knew who was behind them.<\/span><\/p>\n

The US president tweeted on Sunday night that he had \u201creason to believe that we know the culprit\u201d behind the series of <\/a>attacks<\/a> on the Abqaiq facility, which is the world\u2019s largest petroleum processing plant. The attacks disrupted more than half of the kingdom\u2019s oil output and will affect global supplies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump tweeted: \u201c[We] are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom [of Saudi Arabia] as to who they believe was the cause of this attack and under what terms we would proceed!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia oil supply was attacked. There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!<\/p>\n
