Trump still "unsatisfied" with Saudi accounts on Khashoggi
- 5 years ago
U.S. President Donald Trump says he's still unsatisfied Saudi Arabia's account on the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
But he also said he still values Riyadh's investments.
"…….I don't want to lose all of that investment that's being made in our country. I don't want to lose the million jobs. I don't want to lose 110 billion dollars in terms of investment but it's really 450 billion if you include other than military, so that's very important…."
He added that there are U.S. intelligence officers in Saudi Arabia and Turkey working on the case who are scheduled to return home in the next couple of days.
Ankara suspects Khashoggi was killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul by Saudi agents and his body cut up.
The Saudis have offered conflicting accounts, with some saying he died in a fistfight and others saying he was killed in a rogue operation.
Meanwhile, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he will release information about the investigation in a speech on Tuesday.
