(24 Oct 2018) US President Donald Trump says the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi should never have been thought about and should have never happened. Trump made his comments during a meeting with military leaders at the White House on Tuesday. The US leader has said earlier that Khashoggi's killing was one of the "worst cover-ups in the history of cover-ups," and that the entire operation was badly conceived and "carried out poorly." Turkish officials say that a Saudi team of 15 men tortured, killed and dismembered the writer and that Saudi officials had planned the killing for days. Saudi officials - after weeks of denials - now concede that he died, but they say it happened accidentally in a fight at the consulate. Trump also said the US military will be involved in stopping a caravan of thousands of migrants walking from Central America to the United States from entering the country.
