Saudi stocks drop after Trump threat over missing writer 22 SHARES Share it! The kingdom has called the allegations “baseless,” but has offered no evidence the writer ever left the consulate.

Trump also said “we would be punishing ourselves” by canceling arms sales to Saudi Arabia, which his administration touted on his first overseas trip. Those policies are all seen as initiatives of the crown prince, who has also presided over a roundup of activists and businessmen.
