(19 Oct 2018) President Donald Trump says he could consider sanctions against Saudi Arabia over missing Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump told reporters after signing a presidential memo in Arizona on Friday that he'll involve Congress in any decision. But he says he'll be making "certain recommendations." He says that it's still "too early" to determine potential consequences but that he expects to know more by Monday. He says: "We're going to find out who knew what when and where and we'll figure it out." Trump acknowledged Thursday that it "certainly looks" like Khashoggi is dead and threatened "very severe" consequences if the Saudis are found to have killed him. The journalist's disappearance has sparked global outrage and threatened the U.S.-Saudi relationship. He was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2.
