ordered. trump has defended america's alliance with saudi arabia saying it was necessary to put american interests first. it's all about america first we're not going to give up hundreds of billions of dollars in orders and let russia china and everybody else have a it's all about for me very simple it's america first they're buying hundreds of billions of dollars worth of things from this country if i say we don't want to take your business if i say we're going to cut it off they will get the equipment military equipment and other things from russia and china russia and china would be very very happy because right now we're doing very well against china we're doing very well against everybody including russia and i'm going to keep it that way and i'm not going to tell a country that's spending hundreds of billions of dollars and has helped me do one thing very importantly keep oil prices down so that they're not going to one

hundred nine hundred fifty dollars a barrel right now we have oil prices in great shape i'm not going to destroy the world economy and i'm not going to destroy the economy for our country by being foolish with saudi arabia while tekkie says it's not satisfied with the level of cooperation it's receiving from saudi arabia and may seek a formal united nations inquiry into the hostility killing if discussions with riyadh come to pass a foreign minister is in washington and spoke out about the journalists killing united this time and in addition notice the time i think you know we believe that nobody came to turkey without preplanning first eleven have been invested over us have been set free why have they been freed and why is someone to the death sentence the question needs to be answered any investigation should be conducted according to turkish law they have to be handed over to turkey we should have cooperation it's not just up to saudi arabia to bequest information from us we also

have to be given information by them. white house is live for us in washington d.c. so a story comment from trumbull what more did he have to say. but very clearly the president outlining a world view which is utterly transactional devoid his critics would say of any form of moral responsibility criticism has come thick and fast for president trump's statement says insistence is absolute insistence that the economic relationship with saudi arabia far outweighs any ramifications of the murder of a journalist making very clear too that the crown prince may or may not have been responsible for the killing basically president trump made clear in his statements that he simply doesn't care of paramount importance to him is the maintenance of that economic relationship an economic relationship incidentally which he over speak sees talking about hundreds of billions of dollars well so far in the past

two years saudi arabia has spent five billion dollars on arms deals according to the department of defense it's a promise to pay some fourteen billion in the months to come but the idea of hundreds of billions of dollars of deals is basically at this stage a figment of the president's imagination it would appear that's what his critics contend and what turf further reaction has there been since we heard him speak and since he gave out this statement. well from congress the reactions been very strong and did so by partisan reaction as well senator lindsey graham a very strong supporter of president trump insists that the senate's going to impose sanctions against saudi arabia as soon as possible senator bernie sanders says that the senate will even as early as next week sit down and pass a bill that has been introduced into the senate which prevents the u.s.

from conducting any support operations for saudi arabia in their war against yemen so certainly you're going to see possibly even in the next week tangible actions by congress to show their displeasure there may well be denton's tacked on to the legislation with specific regard to jamal khashoggi but certainly congress is going to make its opinion very very clear president trump said in a statement that if congress wants to take measures it can he will try and work together with congress but remembering too that any bull coming out of congress or indeed the house can be vetoed by the president to avoid that they need two thirds majority in senate and in the house that's the kind of target that congress would be aiming for and given the dark in there he angry mood over the whole khashoggi affair that is a real possibility mike hanna thank you very much indeed we are six your state might compare has defended his country's alliance with saudi arabia saying american

safety comes first it's a mean of the world out there of the middle east in particular. there are important american interests to keep the american people safe to protect americans not only americans who are here but americans who are traveling and working doing business in the middle east it is the president's obligation indeed the state department's duty as well to ensure that we adopt policies that further the american america's national security so as the president said today the united states will continue to have a relationship with the kingdom of saudi arabia their important partner of ours we will we will do that with the kingdom of saudi arabia its people that is that is the commitment that the president made today. article has more from washington d.c. in unexpected appearance from the u.s. secretary of state here in the state department press briefing room trying to send the message that the u.s. does have a strong response to saudi arabia talking about the sanction in

a few people who are likely already in prison and all that worried about financial sanctions from the united states but he really wanted to try and back up the president he was asked about this consistent law that donald trump the u.s. president keeps making has been making for weeks he is greatly exaggerating the amount of money that saudi arabia is putting into the u.s. economy the amount of money that they are spending on buying american weapons it is a fraction of what the president says now the secretary of state really dismissed that question saying well these are military deals they take a long time to work out and basically i have no idea when we'll actually see that amount of money but he didn't back down he says that this is what the u.s. is going to do but they don't have the final say the question now is what does turkey do they release the tape what does the u.s. congress do do they sanctioned saudi arabia and the crown prince even if the president says he doesn't want them to. and we're joined on the studio by a senior political analyst. so what more does this take the heat this statement on

this and the words we had from the president from say to take the heat off moment in some on no it doesn't but it also put some heat on president trump because i think now he's isolated among western leaders on ward leaders. i can only imagine come november thirtieth at the g twenty summit in argentina where the crown prince is going to be meeting all these world leaders and i think the only person who probably are going to be saying a lot to him in any real fashion is going to be don't trump because imagine a prime minister to do president of the one on the chancellor of merkel and you know sarkozy and others i think everyone is going to be looking saying there is money here so they think you mean mokoena slackers the stories and so are you saying that no illusions there's going to everyone is going to think there's clues and not with russia but certainly with so dear abia that you know the

those responsible in the kingdom for the killing of her. have basically been. you know put off the crimes committed by the american president and so he's he was very keen to to talk about iran and that saudi arabia is a key ally in dealing with iran how is that is that something that actually stands up and does does saudi really help the u.s. interests with or without sharon look i mean in the end of the day the american president is acting as a fee as you know riyadh politik president where it says look there's the economy and there's the strategy and there's the economy the saudis are providing us with a lot of jobs because they're buying a lot of arms and investing in america and to because they are our ally against iran i think in both. this is on the economy on the strategy every single commentary i've seen enough since so many of them the last couple hours you know think there's so many holes in president trump's argument first of all saudi arabia

is not much of a n.r.i. it's proved to be reckless it's really you know sunk in the question of yemen many factional crisis with qatar humiliating an ally in lebanon not really doing much for syria or for iraq and so on so forth so really the overall saudi arabia has not been successful and in terms of the arms and so on so forth i remember you know throughout the last thirty forty years even during the cold war no american president was proud to sell arms and there's always something that you would find in the international institute for strategic affairs to know how much america sold arms to whatever country but now it's becoming such a huge you know boasting that we sell arms and guess what i think on that question of arms saudi arabia and this really i have an argument with them i can president here so do it would not turn the next day and buy arms from russia or china no one in the military community believes that because for the last seventy years or so

that it has been buying american arms because the entire. so did defense doctrine is based on american strategy and american arms and merican aids etc etc so the idea that that saudi arabia will flip and go elsewhere is just not practical what about the prospects for saudi arabia and how they reinvent themselves if you like after this is there any kind of change to the way to the way six hundred m. is run but clearly the way the turks left the meeting today in washington and the way things sort of person trump left the door open that this is a state to state and this is not just about the crown prince or source or fourth i think leaves the door open for a number of arrangements not to more of the day after but moving down the road in the sense that within some. maybe there is an unease about the young reckless apparently crown prince and that the family needs to find a way out where by the family meets convenes and and finds may have been i'll turn

a table or put some sort of restraints or contains the crown prince especially as long as his father is there and i think president trump and president are the one might find their way forward for both of them to cooperate it was so we get a b. in order to help saudis with four with the second option which is not as good option is that the american president takes the the strategic option saying i am fully behind saudi arabia no matter what and israel is also on board because i am incident the now who has defended the saudis in washington the last few days and so we have this trilateral that i like that are allies against iran i think that does not bode well for the middle east and certainly does not bode well for questions like palestine like syria and others because i think the saudis will probably be blackmailed by israel and the united states not that they've helped them come out of the question this and you probably would see something like the crown prince

supporting the so-called deal of the century that's supposed to be announced in the next few weeks i think all of that does not bode well for the middle east or the carnage of the middle east as prism trumpet call it well i'm a sheriff thank you very much or don't trump lawyer says the u.s. president has submitted his own answers to written questions by special counsel. boehner is investigating if trump's campaign colluded with russia to influence influence they twenty sixteen presidential election trump has repeatedly called him mr geisha a witch hunt and says he would not stop his acting attorney general if he moved to curtail inquiry. still ahead. one of the last minute rescue ships in the mediterranean is banned from sailing by attorneys far right government.
