Senator Marco Rubio: Saudi Crown Prince is ‘Going to Pull Us Into War’ With ‘Reckless’ Actions

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) fears that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman will force the United States to take drastic action against Saudi Arabia someday if he doesn’t quit his authoritarian practices like orchestrating the death of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

As Rubio spoke to CNN’s John Berman, he was asked about why the White House denies the existence of any smoking gun against Salman despite the CIA’s “high confidence” assessment to the contrary. This was contrasted with the various lawmakers who said Salman’s guilt is unquestionable after they were briefed on the matter by CIA Director Gina Haspel.

When asked to explain the mixed messaging, Rubio said Trump’s cabinet was “carrying out the policy of the administration,” and America doesn’t require a smoking gun to take action on a diplomatic level. The senator agreed with preserving the U.S.-Saudi alliance, but said Salman is testing the limits of what America is willing to accept.
