President Trump said Thursday he does not favor stopping arms sales to Saudi Arabia in retaliation for the suspected murder of a Saudi journalist who has been critical of the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re spending $110 billion on military equipment,\u201d Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House. \u201cI don\u2019t like stopping the investment. They\u2019re going to take that money and spend it on Russia or China. What good does that do us?\u201d<\/p>\n

The U.S. is investigating the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Post who disappeared after entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, for a meeting.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump said of the Saudi journalist\u2019s suspected murder, \u201cWe\u2019re taking it very seriously. Something like that should not be allowed to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he said there are \u201ccertainly other ways of handling this situation\u201d besides stopping arm sales, if Saudi Arabia\u2019s government is implicated in Mr. Khashoggi\u2019s disappearance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat doesn\u2019t help us, not when it comes to jobs. There are other things we can do. We\u2019re looking for the answer,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat happened is a terrible thing, assuming that happened. Maybe we\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised, but somehow I doubt it.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
