“Pleased to be back in Riyadh to discuss the U.S. government’s strong commitment to #SaudiArabia’s security and the continued need to stand together to counter #Iran’s malign behavior in the region,” the Secretary tweeted.
Secretary Pompeo also met separately with Prince Faisal bin Farhan, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister.
In attendance for today’s meetings was Princess Reema bint Bandar, Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to the United States.
Pompeo’s three day visit is his second in 2020. He is also set to visit Saudi Aramco’s Khurais oil field, which was targeted in a missile attack in September that both the kingdom and the U.S. blame on Iran.
