Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia's 35-year-old Crown Prince and de facto ruler, has long been suspected of orchestrating the 2018 murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a journalist critical of the prince. Now, with the release of an unclassified U.S. intelligence report directly linking Salman to the killing, calls are growing for U.S. President Joe Biden and other nations to break ties with the prince altogether.
Today, join the Global Current as Analysts Daniela Maquera Sardon and Drew Starbuck break down the killing, discuss what to make of the new report, and speculate on how it will affect broader U.S.-Saudi relations. Before our discussion, News Briefer Andrea Hebel updates us on pressing news around the world.
