US President Donald Trump answered questions of journalists about the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi Consulate General in Istanbul.

As in previous statements, Trump tried to cover up the murder of the Khashoggi by Saudi administration, "Maybe the world should be held accountable because the world is a vicious place. The world is a very, very vicious place," he said, arguing that there is not enough evidence to hold Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Selman accountable for the murder of Khashoggi.

Defending Crown Prince Bin Salman, Trump said, "I hate the crime, I hate the cover-up. I will tell you this: The crown prince hates it more than I do, and they have vehemently denied it."

Admitting that the security of the occupation regime depends on Saudi Arabia, Trump said: "If we didn’t have Saudi Arabia we wouldn’t have a big base. Israel would be in big trouble without Saudi Arabia. We have a very strong ally in Saudi Arabia."

In a statement released by the White House, Trump previous said that Saudi purchased $ 400 billion of weapons from the United States, which allowed hundreds of thousands of jobs in the United States, as well as "guaranteed a drop in oil prices".

Trump, on the other hand, showed that the US backing Saudis for money assessed that Saudis would begin to buy weapons from Russia or China if the agreements were canceled.
