Trump says Saudis will pay a price for Khashoggi... IF they did it AND they deny it BUT we're looking into it Maybe he's being diplomatic, waiting for facts before accusing anyone (first time for everything). Or maybe he's prepping to defend Saudis from accusations, as with Putin
Trump personally? Probably not (at least in the short term). And there'd be a personal cost for him, as Saudi money flowing to his businesses could dry up. But for America, the Middle East, journalism, truth, basic morality? Real consequences.
