US President Donald Trump has strongly defended ties with Saudi Arabia despite international condemnation of journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s murder, according to BBC.
The kingdom is a “steadfast partner” that has agreed to invest “a record amount of money” in the US, Mr Trump said in a statement.
The president acknowledged Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman “could very well” have known about Khashoggi’s murder.
