Trump gives MBS lavish White House welcome and shrugs off Khashoggi murder

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman made his first US visit since the 2018 Khashoggi killing, receiving a military flyover and East Room gala attended by Elon Musk, Tim Cook, and Cristiano Ronaldo. When asked about Khashoggi, Trump said "things happen" and defended MBS. Saudi Arabia pledged to boost US investment from $600 billion to "almost $1 trillion." Trump angrily rebuked an ABC reporter for asking.
