i want to look at how this complex bond between us and saudi arabia won t easily be broken, regardless of who s in the white house, and how a murder and a war are presenting this early test for the president. this is a story of a superpower and how the saudis are part of its effort to stay that way. at first glance, america and saudi arabia have little in common. one s a democracy, one is an authoritarian monarchy. one s majority christian, one is sunni muslim. one has freedom of speech, the other routinelyjails activists. and their relationship is under constant pressure, in part because of a murder in 2018. mr khashoggi was strangled shortly after he entered the saudi consulate on the second of october. a hood was placed over his head and his body was later dismembered. jamal khashoggi was a saudi journalist and a us resident. in october 2018, he was in istanbul in turkey. we see him entering the saudi consulate. not long afterwards, he was killed and dismembered. and us in
