Former U.S. President Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) brushed off tough questions about the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi during their Oval Office meeting. When asked by ABC News about MBS’s alleged involvement, Trump dismissed the concerns, saying “things happen” and called the reporter “fake news.” During the meeting, Trump defended MBS, saying the prince “knew nothing about it,” while urging reporters not to “embarrass” his guest. MBS described the incident as “a huge mistake,” insisting Saudi Arabia has improved its systems to prevent similar events. On the 9/11 aspect, Mohammed bin Salman said, “You know, I feel painful about, you know, families of 9/11 in America. But, you know, we have to focus on reality.” “Reality based in CIA documents, and based on a lot of documents that Osama bin Laden used Saudi people in that event, for one main purpose, is to destroy this [relationship], to destroy the American-Saudi relation,” bin Salman said.
