MBS in Washington: What’s Next for U.S.–Saudi Relations?

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will travel to Washington D.C. and meet with President Donald Trump in the White House on November 18. His visit follows Trump's trip to the Gulf in May 2025.  It will be the crown prince's first visit to the United States since 2018.

In a preview discussion, CSIS experts Mona Yacoubian and Michael Ratney, the former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, unpack the upcoming visit and what it means for U.S.-Saudi relations moving forward.
