Trump said sanctions against Saudi Arabia "could be" something he would consider but "it's too early to say" how the US will respond for now.

He said he doesn't want to cancel a multi-billion dollar arms deal with the Saudis in response to the admission of guilt.

"I would prefer, if there is going to be some form of sanction or what we may determine to do, if anything... that we don't use as retribution canceling $110bn worth of work, which means 600,000 jobs," he said.

... Different strokes for different folks. Simply because of the multi-billion dollars deal and being an ally, they can perpetrate such evil and not sanctioned? MONEY OVER EVERYTHING... It's just saddening.

He was target and killed deliberately under MBS order.

Are you sure really read the whole story.

I've been following it since day 1,They had no way out and that is why they had to admit it,the evidence against them are just too genuine
Everyone knows they are the culprit. Only Trump is defending them

NwaAmaikpe:



Buhari said it wasn't right for anyone to kill saying "Allah Akbar".

Maybe he should say the same to Saudi Arabia who are the custodian of his religion.

Hahaha, Saudi Arabia kills both its citizens and foreigners like chicken but I know that one day, all the innocent people they have killed, their blood will bring judgement to the useless satanic Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, the gif below is for the useless Kingdom

They should be sanctioned heavily.

Trust no country that depicts weapon on their flag

I doubt the U.S will take any serious action against Saudi so as not jeopardize their benefits from oil money contracts.

Just like that?

That Crown Prince had better watch it and calm down a bit.

He's young but appears ruthless and intoxicated with power - and he ain't even king yet.

he may be killed

Gaddafiyusf:

So you believed that nonsense fight broke out bullocks? Is Kashoggi Mike Tyson to be fighting?

Two private Jets flew into Istanbul with Saudi intelligence and the crown Prince's security staff hours before the killing. All of them lodged in hotels few minutes from the consulate and seen, heard and videoed at the consulate. Those that sneaked in on public flights mostly managed to fly out in those private Jets hours after the killing.

The icing on the cake is that one of the intelligence military guys is a doctor/pathologist specialised in post mortem. So he could have neatly cut up the journalist either at the consulate or at the nearby consul's residence that a convoy of cars left the embassy.

Saudi goofed seriously.

Freedom after expression is NOT guaranteed

It's extremely unlikely that POTUS Trump will sanction the Saudis, remember that they've been denying knowing anything about his (Khashoggi's) whereabouts since this international imbroglio started. They've continued to exchange slurs with Turkey.
Truth be told, it's a dicey moment for Trump. But believe me if it had been that Turkey was responsible for this daylight murder, hell would have been let loose on them in terms of sanctions and threats, we saw this few months ago with the US pastor that have been incarcerated in the country, US sanctions led to the fall of that country's currency and as well as the fall in its economy. He was only released some few days ago.
Do you know that Saudi Arabia is US's closest ally in the world, they seems more close and united than even the other Western countries at the moment. They only second to Israel. So, Trump's hand are tied; Khashoggi is even an American citizen.
But then, the world is not fair!
You see, Lots and Lots are gonna happen, let's keep our fingers crossed.
With the Saudis owning up to the crime, alot of stuffs are going to happen especially with Turkey that is extremely bitter about Saudi Arabia's continued incursion and bombardment of some countries on the Middle East which they have always condemned.

Kill a Nigerian and the president will not talk because he is busy thinking about re-election

BigBelleControl:
Saudi is having it rough diplomatic-wise at the moment but does the US have the nerve to sanction them? The current monarchy is really embarking on a lot of revolutionary reform but the recent killing of the journalist is a dent on their human right and freedom of speech record.

They already have an arms deal together plus kashoggi wasn't a US Citizen.

I think they said *Saudi* is holy Land and governed by holy people, they even said you have to face the holy land when praying before your prayers can be answered, to show how holiest it's among other nations.I pity gaulible people all over the world.

l knew it. You can't trust this Arabs. What a dent on the Saudi Arabia embassy in Turkey. What's the difference between the Boko Haram & this Saudis terrorist?

Dont also forget Potus i a business man and a realist. What has happened has happened and he made two statements not long ago;that they own and protect the royal family by extension, they could flip on them if provoked.

Two, they are no longer fighting in the middle eat directly as Saudi has partially taking over the fight while they get to make money from the arms deal. and truth is, if they don't supply, others will and they will lose from both ends. He is making a smart business choice and i believe he will find a way to make everybody happy especially turkey and also towards ensuring it does not become a norm going forward.

Earthbound:
Where are all the bigots that said I was wrong? Did I not say Prince Salaman is a murderer? Only God knows what he would do when he becomes King.


Some people cannot accept the truth even if it repeatedly slaps them in the face.

Discussions that took place between him and the persons who met him … at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul led to a brawl and a fist fight with the citizen, Jamal Khashoggi, which led to his death, may his soul rest in peace," the attorney-general said in a statement.
Mehn, this lie is strong. And to think Trump says he accepts the explanation is nauseating just because of a $110 billion arms deal.

If Trump cancels the arms deal with Saudi Arabia....that could cost lots of American jobs...in the arms manufacturing industry.

(Esepcially as Trump's approval ratings is dependent onjob growth).

Then there is the threat of high oil prices.

Gaddafiyusf:

I can’t! Religion is the biggest threat to human existence and that is why China is doing everything to destroy it,over 1.5 Muslim and Christian are in detention in China right now going through reorientation
I am catholic but I don’t take it serious.Religion is a scam! 98 percent of crimes being committed around the world are directly related to religion
Even my so called Catholic Church is presently under investigation in several countries because of their crimes and cover ups

NwaAmaikpe:

Buhari said it wasn't right and a sin for anyone to kill saying "Allah Akbar".
Maybe he should say the same to Saudi Arabia who are the custodian of his religion.

Your foolishness keeps protruding everyday.

Saudis are worst than Russia and u.s combine but my Muslim brothers still believe that it's the only place your prayers can be answered.

it's not.hes trying to believe the Saudi statement about his death...just to keep selling weapons to them

The actions of most of today's Muslims can't be use to judge Islam, if you want to know Islam, study QUR'AN & HADITH of prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings of GOD be upon him).

i wish saudi arabia's oil would just dry up.

Depends on US at your own peril, It now clear that US is evil Empire State as many thoughts the country is police of the world via her self claimed...

Can you see the picture of US that only criticize any nation that is not sharing their ideology of buying their products or international political relations, Saudi Arabia committed killing of journalist Jamal Kashougi in their consulate and US saying rubbish by not calling a spade, a spade.

Had it been this happened to Iran or North Korea, China Russia and other countries that not in good relations with US... Ha! US will be screaming up and down without allowing the world to hear anything as if they are saint on anything.

This only happens to expose US as evil Empire State that is manipulating the whole world for the interest of Satan.
