“The missing Saudi businessman Jamal Khashoggi appears to be dead, President Trump told reporters, saying there will be serious “consequences for anyone behind this crime.
The “is very sad”, he added.
Khashoggi was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey two weeks ago.
Turkey has accused Saudi Arabia of sending a team to kidnap and kill journalist, while Riyadi has denied it.
“Possible consequences for Saudi Arabia will have to be very serious,” Trump said on Thursday, before leaving for Montana.
This is a bad thing, but we'll see what happens. ”
“If no miracle of all miracles occurs, I will admit that he is dead”, Trump told New York Times journalists inside the Oval Office.
This is based on information coming from intelligent services from all over. ”
Trump sent State Secretary Mike Pompeii to Saudi Arabia this week to encourage Saudi Arabia to conduct investigations into Khahoggi's disappearance amid reports that Turkey had evidence that he was killed and broke up in the consulate. No evidence has yet been made public.
After receiving results of the investigation, the US government will make a strong “declaration”, Trump added.
