Muhammad bin Salman, the Saudi Crown Prince, has not traveled to the United States since the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for the Washington Post. Jamal Khashoggi was born on October 13, 1958. He was previously the editor of Al-Watan newspaper and later the director of Al-Arab news network. Khashoggi fled Saudi Arabia in September 2017, and later, as a columnist for the Washington Post, published articles criticizing some of his country’s policies, especially Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. He was an outspoken critic of the Saudi-led coalition’s military intervention in Yemen.
Khashoggi was brutally assassinated in October 2018 at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. Last March, the US government released a report on the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, indicating that the assassination was carried out on the direct orders of Mohammad bin Salman.
After Khashoggi’s assassination, to this day, Khalid bin Salman has been the highest-ranking Saudi official to travel to the United States since Joe Biden’s administration took office. News sources at the time reported that Mohammed bin Salman had not yet been able to obtain Washington’s consent to travel to the United States.
