The murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi four years ago led to the deterioration of relations between the United States and Saudi Arabia.

In a trial filed in the United States to pursue the responsibility of Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed, who is suspected of being involved, the court dismissed the lawsuit on the 6th, saying that the crown prince was exempted from liability.



The federal district court in Washington, D.C., cited the Biden administration's view that immunity would apply to Prince Mohammed based on the customs that the U.S. government has applied to incumbent heads of state. I'm here.



President Biden had criticized Saudi Arabia for violating human rights over this incident, but in July he visited the site to call for an increase in crude oil production and also met with Prince Mohammed.
