Top Biden administration officials host the brother of Saudi Arabia’s powerful crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, in the highest-level known visit since the US made intelligence findings linking the crown prince to the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi public.
The Biden administration did not publicly disclose the visit by Prince Khalid bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s deputy defense minister, in advance.
At a briefing with reporters, White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirms the meetings were underway and indicated that officials may raise the issue of the killing.
Khalid bin Salman met briefly at the Pentagon with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and has had longer talks at the Pentagon with Colin Kahl, undersecretary of defense for policy, one official said.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
