“Yesterday I spoke with the king (of Saudi Arabia - RT), not with the prince.
I told him clearly that the rules were changing and that we would announce significant changes today and Monday, ”the American leader said.
He also said that the US will hold Saudi Arabia accountable for human rights violations.
Earlier, the United States imposed visa sanctions against 76 Saudi Arabians in connection with the murder of journalist Jamal Khashukji in 2018.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that these actions by Washington are not aimed at destroying relations with Riyadh.
Journalist Jamal Khashukji was killed at the Saudi Arabian Consulate General in Istanbul on October 2, 2018. Later, the Saudi authorities said that he was killed in the diplomatic mission building as a result of the conflict.
