Taken that country’s wealth and used it

Hmm. Secretary of State Marco Rubio wonders why they don’t what now?

And I would just say this – and I said this yesterday; I’ll say it again now. Iran is – not the Iranian people. The Iranian people are phenomenal people. They deserve way better than what they have, which is a radical, Shia clerical regime that has basically taken that country’s wealth and used it not to build roads and bridges, not to build health care systems or universities, not to build a better, more prosperous country. They’ve used the wealth of that country to sponsor terrorism, build rockets, build drones, build missiles, build sea mines.

Interesting. I wonder if we can think of any other countries that spend a whole lot of money on weapons (and vanity projects the boss wants) rather than health care systems or universities.

It’s a real puzzler.
