US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says he told Saudi Arabia's rulers that the US takes "very seriously" the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and will await the outcome of investigations by the kingdom and Turkey before deciding how the US will respond. Pompeo addressed reporters Thursday after briefing President Donald Trump at the White House on his talks with leaders in Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Pompeo says the Saudis assured him they will conduct a "complete, thorough" investigation into Khashoggi's disappearance. (AP)
