(Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 13th October, 2018) President Donald Trump must end US support of Saudi Arabian involvement in the Yemeni conflict and reevaluate Washington's alliance with Riyadh immediately, Congressman Walter Jones said in a letter to the US leader on Friday.
"I urge you to ... end American support of Saudi Arabian involvement in the Yemeni Civil War, and to reevaluate our unholy alliance with the kingdom immediately," Jones told Trump in the letter, according to a press release from his office.
Jones sent his letter in response to the disappearance and suspected murder of US-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and he also called on Trump to investigate Saudi Arabia's involvement in the incident, the release added.
"It is not surprising that intelligence agencies around the world strongly believe the Saudi Arabian government is complicit in Mr. Khashoggi's disappearance... Saudi Arabia has a long history of disregarding America's values and acting against the best interests of our country," Jones wrote.
In his letter, the lawmaker recalled that in 2016 the House Intelligence Committee released 28 pages of the congressional joint inquiry into the 9/11 attacks on the United States, which implicated the Saudi royal family in financially supporting the hijackers.
