Trump: Saudi Arabia has 'been a great ally to me'
U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Saudi Arabia has "been a great ally to me" amid an international diplomatic crisis over allegations that Saudi agents killed a U.S.-based Saudi journalist in Istanbul, The Hill reports.
Trump told Fox Business Network's Trish Regan that the U.S. response to Saudi Arabia's involvement in Jamal Khashoggi's disappearance will depend on "whether or not they knew about it."
"Saudi Arabia’s our partner, our ally against Iran," he said. "They’ve been a great ally to me."
"They’re investing tremendous amounts of money," he added, referring to America's $110 billion arms deal with the Saudi kingdom.
Trump earlier in the day denied having any financial interests in Saudi Arabia, pushing back on speculation that he is treading lightly with the Saudis over Khashoggi because of his financial conflicts of interest.
