BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — The Latest on the Group of 20 summit in Argentina (all times local):

2:15 p.m.

France's president is calling for international involvement in the investigations into the killing of Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi, as the death threatens to cloud discussions at the Group of 20 summit in Argentina.

Argentine President Mauricio Macri says the killing will be "on the table" during bilateral meetings at the G-20 Friday and Saturday and possibly during the broader meetings with heads of the 20 leading world economies.

Speaking alongside Macri, French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday that he wants European leaders to discuss it at a meeting on the sidelines of the G-20.

He said he wants to "associate members of the international community" to the investigations, without elaborating.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is among the leaders at the G-20. The kingdom has denied accusations that he played a role in the killing at the country's consulate in Istanbul.
