WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday defended Saudi Arabia from what he characterised as efforts to condemn Riyadh over the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi before all the facts were known.

This was a case of “guilty until proven innocent”, Trump told the Associated Press in an interview.

AP posted the comment on Twitter. No further details were immediately available.
