Despite having been found liable for decades of #fraud, the #TrumpOrganization & #SaudiArabia developer #DarGlobal are looking to open the latest #Trump hotel in the Maldives.

Dar Global plans to build a $1B Trump Plaza project in Saudi Arabia's Jeddah as Trump's family business expands in the Gulf, the company said in Sept.

The project will be the second Trump-branded development in the kingdom after the launch of Trump Tower Jeddah last year, Dar Global said.

#Trump said the #US would sell #F35 stealth fighter jets to #SaudiArabia in a similar arrangement it has with #Israel.

"As far as I'm concerned, I think they are both at a level where they should get top of the line (F-35s)," Trump said, referring to Saudi & Israel as great allies.

"A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen, but he [ #MBS] knew nothing about it. And we can leave it at that. You don't have to embarrass our guest by asking a question like that,” #Trump said as if likability excuses #murder.

[Helsinki flashback] #Trump contradicts #US #intelligence, says #MBS 'knew nothing' about #Khashoggi death.

Then in classic Trump fashion, Trump dismisses a reporter’s question on the #murder of #journalist #JamalKhashoggi as an attempt to "embarrass" the #SaudiArabia leader, horrifically adding:
🚨 "things happen" [um… dismemberment doesn’t just “happen”] 🚨

Trump asked the reporter where she was from, then called her "fake news."

This is MBS's first visit to the US since the 2018 killing of #journalist & Saudi critic #JamalKhashoggi in the kingdom's Istanbul consulate.

#Khashoggi was killed & dismembered in Oct 2018 by Saudi agents in an operation US intelligence believed was ordered by #MBS.

Khashoggi had criticized the crown prince's policies in his #WashingtonPost columns.
He had traveled to the #SaudiArabia consulate to obtain papers to marry his fiancée, a Turkish citizen.
