Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has embarked on his first visit to the United States since the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, an event that strained relations between the two countries. During his trip, the crown prince is set to meet with President Donald Trump to discuss strengthening bilateral ties and address key regional issues. The visit comes as Trump promotes the possibility of Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords and normalizing relations with Israel, though experts suggest the kingdom is more focused on securing stronger security commitments from the United States. The prince's agenda also includes attending an investment forum in Washington, highlighting cooperation in energy and artificial intelligence.
