2. Turkey vowed to expose the "naked truth" about the events surrounding Jamal Khashoggi's death. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also cast doubt onto Saudi Arabia's narrative on the incident.
3. US National Security Adviser John Bolton is in Moscow for high-tension talks over plans to withdraw from a nuclear weapons treaty. President Donald Trump said Russia violated terms of the treaty, though Russia has repeatedly denied the allegations.
