WASHINGTON—Days after Turkey released a recording of the killing of U.S. resident and dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, President Donald Trump said that the United States “intends to remain a steadfast partner of Saudi Arabia to ensure the interests of our country.”

While the investigation into the journalist’s death at a Saudi consulate in Turkey is continuing, the United States “may never know all of the facts surrounding the murder,” he said.
