WASHINGTON: Prince Khalid bin Salman, the Saudi ambassador to the US, visited the US Central Command (CENTCOM) headquarters in Tampa, Florida.

He held a meeting with the Commander of the Central Command Gen. Joseph Votel and met with the Saudi officers currently stationed at the facility. During the meeting, Prince Khalid stressed the strength of US-Saudi relations in the field of defense.

Earlier, Prince Khalid welcomed the avowed determination of US President Donald Trump to take a more realistic approach to the Iranian menace, and he offered Saudi Arabias unqualified support.

“The world must join us to confront Iran with seriousness and intent. Iran needs to know it will pay a price if it continues to violate international law and interfere in the affairs of its neighbors,” Prince Khalid said in an exclusive political essay published in Arab News.
