Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Scheduled for Crucial White House Meeting with President Trump

A White House official confirmed on Monday that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will conduct an official working visit with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on November 18.

This high-profile meeting comes at a critical time as President Trump continues his diplomatic efforts to expand the Abraham Accords. The Trump administration has been actively encouraging Saudi Arabia to join the growing list of nations that normalized relations with Israel under the 2020 agreements, which already include the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco.

Despite diplomatic pressure, Saudi officials have maintained their position that meaningful progress toward Palestinian statehood remains a prerequisite for the kingdom to consider normalizing relations with Israel.
