intelligence officials had concluded that the de facto leader of American ally Saudi Arabia ordered the killing of a US-based journalist critical of the kingdom's royal family. Citing vehement denials by the crown prince and king that they were involved, Trump said on Thursday "maybe the world should be held accountable because the world is a vicious place. The world is a very, very vicious place." Critics in Congress and high-ranking officials in other countries are accusing Trump of ignoring human rights and giving Saudi Arabia a pass for economic reasons, including its influence on the world oil market. Trump said this week he would not impose harsher penalties on Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the death and dismemberment of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul last month. "My policy is very simple: America first, keep America great again and that's what I'm doing," Trump told reporters after a Thanksgiving Day telephone call with members of the military. The crown prince and his father, King Salman, said they did not commit "this atrocity," Trump said. "It's a terrible thing. I dislike it more than you do.
