The conversation took place during a Saturday dinner with state leaders who gathered in Paris, France to mark the World War One Armistice centenary.

Trump expects to form a ‘much stronger opinion’ by next week on Khashoggi’s killing and Washington’s response, he said on Nov. 7. Trump also added that he was working with Congress, Turkey and Saudi Arabia to determine who was responsible for the killing.
