Tensions are rising as U.S. President Donald Trump defends Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during a high-profile White House visit, insisting MBS “knew nothing” about the 2018 murdr of journalist Jamal Khashoggi — despite the CIA’s assessment pointing to the prince’s likely involvement. Calling the killing a “huge mistake” and “painful,” MBS reaffirmed his denial, while Trump praised him as a transformative leader with an “incredible” human-rights record.
The red-carpet welcome, military honors, and fighter-jet flyover underscored Washington’s renewed embrace of Riyadh, reigniting global debate over accountability, U.S.–Saudi relations, and the lingering shadow of Khashoggi’s assassination.
