Theresa May to Raise Khashoggi Killing With Saudi King Salman

(Bloomberg) -- U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May said she’ll be raising the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman when she speaks to him later Wednesday, and condemned it “in the strongest terms.”

Taking questions in Parliament, May said if any Saudis named in relation to Khashoggi’s death had visas to enter Britain, they will be revoked immediately. She also said she’d be urging the Saudis to cooperate with Turkish authorities investigating the journalist’s death. She said no U.K. officials or ministers were attending this week’s investment conference in Riyadh.
