(Conservative Review) -- The death of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi it is not enough reason to upend the United States-Saudi Arabia relationship, as President Trump made clear in a statement released Tuesday afternoon.
In a three-page statement titled “Standing with Saudi Arabia,” the president articulated why it is important to continue moving past this in our relationship with the Middle Eastern nation. He began by reminding the country that “America First” is always the priority, and the reality is that the “world is a dangerous place.”
“We may never know all of the facts surrounding” Khashoggi’s death, but “our relationship is with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” the president said in the lengthy statement, which also noted that the Saudis denied that the crown prince and king of Saudi Arabia were involved in the plot.
