- Country:
- United States
The Trump administration is completely unified in calling for an investigation into the disappearance of U.S.-based Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, but it also has a significant relationship with Riyadh, a senior administration official said on Tuesday.
"We are, I think, completely unified in this administration about calling for an investigation into this. We need to get the facts of what happened," the official told reporters. "Of course ... we have a longstanding relationship that is very significant to us, but that doesn't mean we're in any way ignoring or downplaying this episode."
"We continue to believe those who are responsible for it have to be held accountable."
