Trump Backs Saudi Arabia Despite Murder

Newsday

Available for over a year

President Trump says his administration will continue to back Saudi Arabia, despite acknowledging that its Crown Prince could have known about the murder of a dissident journalist; Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, who have faced international criticism for waging a war against Houthi rebels in Yemen, say they are donating five hundred million dollars to provide food to millions of people close to starvation; and a Russian official is expected to become the new head of Interpol, despite concerns that Moscow has used the agency to target its opponents.
