US President Donald Trump received Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House on Tuesday, marking the prince’s first visit since the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Trump welcomed him on the South Lawn with a handshake, a brief embrace, a military band and a flyover.
The encounter contrasts with Joe Biden’s more restrained fist-bump greeting during his 2022 trip to Saudi Arabia.
The visit underscores continued diplomatic engagement between the US and Saudi Arabia despite earlier tensions.
