Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman left Saudi Arabia on Monday for the United States for a visit scheduled to include talks with US President Donald Trump, the Royal Court said in a statement.
The statement said that in his talks with Trump and other US oficials, Prince Mohammed, who is also the Saudi defence minister, was expected to "discuss reinforcing bilateral relations and review regional issues of mutual interest".
It will be the first meeting between the powerful son of Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz and the US president since Trump came to office in January, Reuters reported.
