The chief of Lebanon's Hezbollah group is telling Saudi Arabia that dialogue with Iran is the only way forward, lashing out at the kingdom's lavish royal welcome of US president Donald Trump.

In a speech today, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah says the US president is 'only interested in money' and is the most 'racist' U.S. President against Arabs and Muslims. He says the Saudi welcome and deals signed are a sign of the kingdom's weakness.

Nasrallah was speaking days after Trump signed a USD 110 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia aimed at bolstering Saudi security, and after the US State Department announced sanctions on senior Hezbollah leader Hashem Safieddine.
 

Nasrallah dismissed the sanctions as laughable and said such summits and declarations "will not make any difference.
