In a 20 minute interview with the Wa/Post, President Donald Trump redefined his stance that
Saudi Arabia's story about the killing of journalist Jamaal Khashoggi, but, gave a strong vote
of confidence to the younger Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, arguing the United
States' relationship with the kingdom is key to his administration's
policy objectives in the Middle East . . . . and that is a fact.
"Obviously there's been deception and there's
been lies," Trump said in an interview with
The Washington Post when
pressed on the many discrepancies in the changing accounts from the
Saudis. "Their stories are all over the place."
During the interview, Trump included comments about the importance of the economic ties between the
United States and Saudi Arabia and Mohammed's role in that relationship, as is the case with our relationship with China. Economic realities keep much of the world in alliances that are not preferred, but must exist.
