President Donald Trump said the 18 arrests by Saudi Arabia in the death of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi is a “good first step” and “a big step.” He noted that the United States is continuing its investigation into the “unacceptable” incident. He made the remarks during a visit to Luke Air Force Base in Arizona on Oct. 19.
All the arrested are Saudi citizens. The kingdom also announced that it fired five top officials and a number of lower officials were also relieved of their posts.
