"The CIA concluded the crown prince approved the operation that killed Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Turkey, but Prince Mohammed maintained he had no knowledge of the attack, which he's called "heinous" and "unjustifiable." The crown prince oversees the kingdom's vast oil wealth. He's has already vowed to invest $600 billion, or more, in the United States during Trump's time in office,"
"but he wants a defense pact, access to advanced AI chips and a civilian nuclear deal that may involve enrichment outside the kingdom's territory in exchange for the deployment of U.S. nuclear weapons systems on Saudi soil, according to analysts. Prince Mohammed also wants advanced F-35 jets that only Israel currently flies in the Middle East. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday that a deal will be happening,"
President Trump is hosting Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House for talks expected to produce deals on defense, artificial intelligence and nuclear technology. The visit is the crown prince's first U.S. trip since the killing of Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi, which prompted international outcry. The CIA concluded the crown prince approved the operation; he denies knowledge and calls the killing "heinous" and "unjustifiable." Prince Mohammed oversees Saudi oil wealth and has vowed to invest $600 billion or more in the United States. He seeks a defense pact, advanced AI chips, F-35 jets and a civilian nuclear deal that may involve enrichment outside Saudi territory. Israel's far-right government rejects Saudi conditions for Palestinians.
