US Senator Bernie Sanders accused President Donald Trump of disliking Muslims except billionaire autocrats who can enrich his family, following Trump's lavish White House reception for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The Crown Prince's November 19 visit marked his first US trip since 2018, when relations soured after journalist Jamal Khashoggi's murder inside Istanbul's Saudi consulate. Trump brushed aside human rights questions, praised the prince's statesmanship, and announced hundreds of billions in Saudi investments. The elaborate welcome included fighter jet displays, honor guards on horseback, and an East Room dinner. Discussions covered commerce and potential F-35 fighter jet sales, despite US intelligence implicating the prince in Khashoggi's killing.
