US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and plans to address the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi during his upcoming visit to Saudi Arabia.”I’ll say what we have said consistently,” Pompeo said of Khashoggi’s murder.

“America’s position both privately and publicly is the same. This was an outrageous act, an unacceptable murder. Those who were responsible will be held accountable by the US.”

“We’re determined to do that. We’re determined to get at the facts just as quickly and as comprehensively as we can,” he continued in an interview he taped with CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

In his CBS interview, Pompeo said the US “value human rights all across the globe,” and called the murder of Khashoggi “outrageous.” He added that the US will “hold those responsible accountable.”

The resolution stated that the Senate “believes Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is responsible for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi” and “calls for the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to ensure appropriate accountability for all those responsible for Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.”

“And then we’ll talk about all the important things we do with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and all the support they provide to keep Americans in Kansas and Colorado and California and in Washington, DC, safe,” Pompeo added.

When asked if it was a partnership or a friendship with Saudi Arabia, he told Al Arabiya, “Call it what you will. They’ve been great partners in the missions that we have asked them to assist us with.”We understand that the murder of Jamal Khashoggi was a heinous, terrible act. We want to hold everyone responsible for that accountable,” he said.
