In the meeting between trump on the sunday crown prince. Initially u. S. President donald trump trolls not to speak about the case of meredith how the journalist when he was meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince mohammed bin as a working breakfast on saturday in or sokka he was asked 3 separate times about the case of the murdered journalist and each time President Trump chose to ignore it instead choosing to focus on the billions of dollars being invested by this how does the u. S. Economy and praising crown Prince Mohammed bin for reforms as he described it however later on on the day later on in the day when the u. S. President held a press conference he was asked again about the case of Jamal Khashoggi at that point he was forced to answer and he said that he had faith in the saudi judicial system you pointed to the fact that he said there was 13 suspects being investigated theyre obviously choosing to ignore the fact that many are questioning not only the independence of this how do you draw additionally but also how the culprits of a crime committed in turkey were being tried in saudi arabia given the fact that a lot of the evidence has been pointed out to the saudis themselves trump said that there was no evidence as far as he was concerned about muhammad bin some on the crown prince being involved but this contradicts not only the u. N. Investigation into the murder of least the repertory investigation into its in the findings that she published roughly a week ago where she said there was enough credible evidence to implicate the crown prince but also contradicts the intelligence of the american establishment itself the cia which through jena has had seen a lot of the evidence in turkey and said that there was enough there to pursue least quite a line of questioning about the role of the crown prince.

Whos been a significant influence in encouraging dialogue with the north but since fabrice failure of the hanoi summit between President Trump and kim jong un the processes stalled north korea has returned to some of its hostile rhetoric and seems to blame south korea in part for the failure in hanoi for south korea a successful trump visit would help restore moons position as an important intermediary with the u. S. It ministry or i think theyre also interested in sending a message to north korea. The moon still has some sway with the administration. When moon says the administration is perhaps willing to move and be a little bit more flexible than the North Koreans can believe him the highlight of this trip is expected to be trumps visit to the Demilitarized Zone separating the 2 koreas and the intriguing prospect of a meeting with kim jong un after a saturday morning tweet that he would meet him at the border just to shake his hand and say hello trumps visit has been greeted by competing protests on the streets of seoul right wing groups among them veterans of the korean war a firmly in support of the alliance with the u. S. And welcome its president although some are uneasy about the prospect of a handshake with kim on the d. M. Z. Weve been fooled for decades i think the fact that were still talking to kim jong un and trusting him at all is a problem in itself.
