Khashoggi report: US unlikely to take action against Saudis

Washington, Jun 20 (UNI) United States is unlikely to take any action against high-level Saudi officials, including Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, in line with recommendations made by the United Nations' report on the murder of Saudi columnist Jamal Khashoggi, human rights lawyer Francis Boyle has told.
"So I don't think this UN report will matter at all to the Trump administration," Boyle said on Wednesday. "The crown prince is Trump's man in the Gulf."
Talking to Sputnik, Boyle emphasised that Turkey will have to take the lead on any possible initiative to further seek to hold Saudi officials accountable for the Khashoggi murder.
