Asked whether Trump planned to meet Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who the CIA reportedly believes authorized the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a US resident, Sanders said an informal meeting remained a possibility.
"I wouldn't say we've ruled out any interaction," she said, although she stressed that "the President's schedule is pretty packed" and that no formal bilateral was planned.
