RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is to visit the United States March 19-22, for the first time as heir to the throne, a Saudi government source tells AFP on Wednesday.
The much anticipated trip to Washington will follow a visit to Britain on March 7 for talks with Prime Minister Theresa May.
US President Donald Trump hosted Prince Mohammed in March 2017, just weeks after taking office, and he chose Saudi Arabia for his first official overseas visit as president.
Prince Mohammed, who was named heir in June 2017, is also expected to visit France in the coming weeks.
The government source does not comment on Prince Mohammed’s schedule in Washington.
