Trump, Europeans call Saudi account of Khashoggi death incomplete
13 Sept 16:41Key points summarised by AI
International leaders, including U.S. President Trump and European nations, rejected Saudi Arabia's initial explanation that journalist Jamal Khashoggi died in a consulate 'fight' as inadequate.
Germany, France, and the EU demanded a transparent, in-depth investigation into Khashoggi's death, with Germany also questioning future arms sales to Saudi Arabia.
Turkish officials suspect Khashoggi was murdered and dismembered by Saudi agents inside the consulate, reportedly possessing audio evidence of the incident.
The international community continues to press Saudi Arabia for full transparency regarding the circumstances of Khashoggi's death and the whereabouts of his body.

Thai Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow advises Thai nationals in Europe to avoid protest areas and reconsider non-essential travel, citing widespread unrest in countries like France, Italy, and Spain.
The warning comes as demonstrations escalate, with some turning violent, prompting concerns for safety and leading to an emergency Cabinet meeting in Italy and a proposed postponement of diplomatic talks.
Thai embassies and the Department of Consular Affairs issue advisories, urging citizens to monitor local developments, follow official announcements, and register their travel details for assistance, while emphasizing that no Thais have been directly affected yet.
