Trump vowed "severe punishment" if Saudi Arabia is shown to be behind the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" set to air Sunday.

The remarks are the toughest to date on the missing journalist, who is suspected of being killed during a visit to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

Trump stopped well short of blaming Saudi Arabia's government for the disappearance of Khashoggi, a U.S. resident who wrote for The Washington Post.

He said that “we don’t know yet” if Khashoggi was murdered, but that the situation is “being looked at very very strongly.”

The president also was hesitant to draw a link between the Khashoggi controversy and a $110 billion arms deal with Riyadh.
