Corporate America begins to distance itself from Saudi money due to Khashoggi affair
As the outcry grows over the alleged murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, possibly by Saudi Arabian agents, some U.S. companies are cutting ties with the wealthy kingdom — and more could follow suit.
Khashoggi, a Saudi citizen and Virginia resident known for criticizing his home country’s government, was allegedly killed this month in the Middle Eastern nation’s consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. The Saudi government has denied any involvement in his disappearance.
The fallout could affect a range of U.S. companies with Saudi links, including defense contractors, banks, energy giants and media companies.
