By Umar Farooq

WASHINGTON (AA) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Thursday dropped out of the Saudi Arabia's Future Investment Initiative over concerns about missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

"Just met with @realDonaldTrump and @SecPompeo and we have decided, I will not be participating in the Future Investment Initiative summit in Saudi Arabia," Mnuchin said on Twitter.

Khashoggi was last seen Oct. 2 when he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, and evidence is mounting that he was killed.
