Will Saudis use oil price as a weapon over Khashoggi disappearance accusations? EVAN VUCCI/AP President Donald Trump has said if Saudi Arabia was involved in the journalist's disappearance there would be "severe" consequences. In an interview scheduled to air Sunday, Trump told CBS' "60 Minutes" that Saudi Arabia would face strong consequences if involved in Khashoggi's disappearance. "If the price of oil reaching US$80 angered President Trump, no one should rule out the price jumping to US$100, or US$200, or even double that figure," Turki Aldakhil wrote. That includes the CEO of Uber, a company in which Saudi Arabia has invested billions of dollars, as well as billionaire Richard Branson.
