Khashoggi's death had an impact on the pivotal states of this process (Turkey, the United States, Saudi Arabia)


What are the effects of Khashoggi's death on these countries leaders?


At first we talk about Saudi Arabia
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is the main official responsible for the siege of Qatar, the invasion of Yemen and Khashoggi's death, appears to have lost nothing. He met world leaders at the summit of the 20th Economic After Khashoggi's death and discussed with the British Prime Minister Theresa May, Vladimir Putin, US Secretary of State John Kerry, Indonesian President Goku Widodo and Prime Minister of the Republic of India Narendra Moody, a front of global media  This indicates forgetting the death of Khashoggi and support for legitimacy Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman under the support of US President and the Russian President's absolute Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.



Here we come to Turkey, the country that has signed on its territory the crime of killing Khashoggi inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul , Where Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan respected  from all over the world after his victory over the Turkish-American diplomatic war, where we all know mutual sanctions between the two countries, where only a month after Khashoggi's murder  the sanctions were lifted between the two sides and the growth of the Turkish lira significantly, also that the Turkish president is still determined for punish hwo killed the journalist  Khashoggi's.


And finally we come to America where Trump was the only loser in Khashoggi's murder Where US President Trump lost what remains of his popularity in the American street and the international community after standing with the Saudi Crown Prince and his support, Here Trump stands helpless after the Saudi crown prince inspired him by arms deals in fictitious amounts and speeding up the process of normalization with country Israel. Khashoggi's death was a blow to President Trump, Which was considered signing arms sales deals Which is worth billions of dollars to Saudi Arabia, is one of his foreign policy victories.Also In a press interview with US President Trump he said he did not want to lose a "huge deal" to sell $ 110 billion worth of weapons he says would save 500,000 US jobs, a figure experts say is heavily overpriced.
