Trump rejects intel on Khashoggi killing, backs Saudi prince, praises $1 trillion investment pledge.

Trump has dismissed U.S. intelligence findings that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was likely aware of the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, calling the assessment inaccurate. He defended the prince and suggested Khashoggi's death may have been deserved. Trump also highlighted a reported $1 trillion investment pledge from Saudi Arabia as a positive development in U.S.-Saudi relations.
