U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Saturday that he was sticking with plans to attend a government-sponsored investment conference in Saudi Arabia this month despite the uproar over the disappearance of a prominent Saudi journalist ...
Mnuchin said he was concerned about the fate of Saudi-born journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, Oct. 2 and has not been seen since.
President Donald Trump, who had said little publicly about Khashoggi for more than a week, acknowledged for the first time Saturday that the Saudi government could have ordered his killing.
Media companies including the Financial Times, CNN, Bloomberg, the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times withdrew their participation. British entrepreneur Richard Branson, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and World Bank President Jim Yong Kim have also said they wouldn't attend.
