The US Senate has approved a resolution blaming the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for the death of the journalistJamal Khashoggi gives. Salman is „responsible for the murder, “ says the statement in the congressional chamber. With his decision, the Senate opposed US President Donald Trump. He had repeatedly questioned the participation of the powerful heir to the crime.
Previously, US intelligence officials had concluded that Salman must have at least been aware of the plan to kill Khashoggi. In response, the Congress Chamber decided in another resolution that theUS to led by Saudi Arabia in Yemen war effort no longer supported.
However, it is unlikely that this second resolution will be effective – for that the House of Representatives would also have to agree. There are reservations, however, against the comparatively tolerant attitude of PresidentTrump to face the Saudi leadership. In addition, Trump himself would still have a veto right at the end.
