Today, President Biden met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who U.S. intelligence officials say ordered the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. In remarks after the meeting, Biden said he raised the killing with Mohammed and was “straightforward and direct” with the crown prince. The president said the murder was a “clear violation of human rights” and “totally inconsistent with who we are [as a country].”
“What happened to Khashoggi was outrageous,” Biden said. The president said the crown prince told him that he was not personally responsible for the murder. The president said he indicated to the crown prince that he thought he was responsible. U.S. intelligence officials have determined that the crown prince ordered Khashoggi’s killing by Saudi agents, though he has denied any responsibility.
