LIVE: Trump Hosts Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman At White House | Bilateral Meeting | N18G

US president Donald Trump will roll out the red carpet for Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, on Tuesday for a visit expected to advance the sale of F-35 fighter jets and a host of business deals with the kingdom. It will be the first trip by bin Salman, widely known as MBS, to the US since the 2018 killing of Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents in Istanbul, which triggered global outrage. US intelligence concluded that MBS approved the capture or killing of Khashoggi. The crown prince denied ordering the operation but acknowledged responsibility as the kingdom’s de facto ruler. US President Donald Trump on Monday showered praise on West Asian ally Saudi Arabia, calling the nation a “great ally" and confirmed the sale of F-35 fighter jets to the country, a day before Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s White House visit. “We will be doing that. We will be selling F-35s," Trump told reporters when asked if Washington would agree to sell Riyadh the jets at Tuesday’s meeting. “They’ve been a great ally," he added. #donaldtrump #princesalman #whitehouse #cnbctv18
