“International peacekeepers, including US troops, will leave the island of Tiran, in the Red Sea, where they have been for more than 40 years, since the Camp David agreements,” Biden assured.
In reference to the conversation with the Saudi representative about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi and his alleged responsibility, Biden commented that Mohamed bin Salmán “said that he was not personally responsible for it. He indicated that I did believe he was. He said that he was not personally responsible for it and that he took action against those responsible. And then I went on to talk more about how that dealing with any critical opposition from the Saudi administration and from other countries was considered by me to be a violation of human rights.”
