A top Turkish representative said that Commander in chief Donald Trump Turns Blind Eye to Murder of Saudi Arabian reporter Jamal Khashoggi so as to protect Washington’s connection with Riyadh. This person even called Trump’s comments regarding the event “comical.”.
Numan Kurtulmus, chairman of Turkish Leader Tayyip Erdogan’s and Development group, informed state journalist TRT Haber that Trump’s “Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t” description of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s potential role in the Washington Post columnist’s slaying was a “comic statement.”.
” It is not possible for an intelligence agency such as the CIA, which even knows the colour of the fur on the cat walking around the Saudi consulate’s garden … to not know who gave this order,” Kurtulmus said in remarks first reported by the Reuters news agency. “This is not credible either for U.S. public opinion or the world public opinion.”.
Within a report released through the White House Tuesday, Trump claimed the United State Of America will continue to be a “steadfast partner” in regard to Saudi Arabia and there was “nothing definitive” that links Khashoggi’s murder within the Saudi government office inside Istanbul to the crown Royal Prince.
Turkey has never provided proof which specifically links Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader to Khashoggi’s murder, however it does claim the order to eliminate him originated from the highest possible levels from Saudi Arabia’s authorities. Riyadh’s administration has already consistently denied participation.
” Because it’s America first to me. It’s all about America first,” Trump pointed out Tuesday outside the White House right after delivering his announcement. “We’re not going to give up hundreds of billions of dollars in orders and let Russia, China and everybody else have them. It’s all about– for me, very simple, it’s America first,” he pointed out.
