A Saudi Air Force student's shooting spree that killed three people and wounded several others at a Navy base in Florida is testing America's relationship with the desert kingdom.
President Donald Trump speaks with reporters before boarding Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House, Saturday, Dec. 7, 2019, in Washington.
``I spoke with the king of Saudi Arabia. They are devastated in Saudi Arabia,″ Trump told reporters Saturday as he left the White House on a trip to Florida. He said the king ``will be involved in taking care of families and loved ones. He feels very strongly.″ When Gen. David Berger, commandant of the Marine Corps, was asked whether the shooting gave him reservations about sending Marines to Saudi Arabia, he said no.
The shooting, raised uneasy parallels to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, when many of the al-Qaida-linked hijackers who flew planes into the World Trade Center, Pentagon and Pennsylvania countryside were Saudi citizens who had flight training in the U.S. U.S. officials at the security forum in California were careful not to draw any broader conspiracy or terrorism-related links to the shooting.
