The US announced that it will not directly sanction Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman, who is believed to have ordered the so-called “Kashukji murder case”.
According to CNBC on the 28th (hereafter local time), White House spokesman Jen Saki told CNN’s’State of the Union’ program, “Historically, both Democrats and Republican administrations have diplomatic relations with us, and even where there is no such relation, Sanctions were not imposed on the leaders of foreign governments,” he said.
“We believe there is a more effective way to ensure that this will never happen again, and there is also room for cooperation with Saudi Arabia in areas where there is mutual agreement.”
“This is what diplomacy is,” said Saki. “We made it clear that we have not made any secrets and that we will hold them accountable on the international stage.” The administration took action through the Treasury and State Departments.” On the 26th, the US government released the Kashqzi Report, which was investigated by the U.S. Intelligence Authority (DNI). U.S. President Joe Biden was reported to have supported a wide range of violence to silence him as a threat to the royal family. Previously, U.S. President Joe Biden took responsibility for the death of Kashqji against high-ranking Saudi leaders when he ran for presidential election. He said he would ask and criticized the kingdom’s leadership as “there is little value of social restraint.” On the 26th, the Treasury imposed sanctions on the prince’s security details, and on the 26th, the crown prince’s aide, Ahmad Asiri, former deputy chief of the intelligence agency, also sanctioned.
The State Department has imposed visa restrictions on 76 Saudi individuals who are allegedly involved in intimidating foreign dissidents, including this case.
President Biden is focusing on realigning relations with Saudi Arabia, by making a phone call to King Salman bin Abdulaziz, his father and Saudi Arabian leader, overtaking Prince Bin Salman, who ruled as the de facto ruler.
