Donald Trump, US President, defended Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Crown Prince, during their White House meeting, claiming he had no knowledge of Jamal Khashoggi’s 2018 murder.
Trump strongly supported the Saudi Crown Prince despite controversy.
These statements contradict US intelligence assessments, as the CIA has categorically stated that the Crown Prince directly ordered Khashoggi’s killing. Khashoggi, a Washington Post journalist and Saudi government critic, was murdered at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
