Trump defends bin Salman in the Khashoggi case: what the former president said.

Donald Trump's claim about Mohammed bin Salman

According to The Sun: Donald Trump stated that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman 'knew nothing' about the brutal murder of Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi. Tension in the Oval Office reached a peak when the topic turned to Khashoggi, with Trump characterizing him as 'a pretty controversial figure', just seven years after the CIA accused bin Salman of his death.

“Who would say he knew anything?”

Bin Salman continues to be at the center of international politics and human rights issues, while the circumstances surrounding the Khashoggi case ignite global outrage.

Trump's remarks once again underline the complexity of international relations, especially when it comes to countries that are traditionally allies of the United States. The situation surrounding Khashoggi leaves numerous questions regarding accountability and justice that still need to be addressed on a global scale.
