Saudi Arabia's crown prince Mohammed bin Salman erupted at national security adv
isor Jake Sullivan during a meeting last year when Sullivan brought up the assas
sination of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
That's according to The Wall Street Journal, which reported that the argument ha
ppened last September, when the two men met for the first time since President J
oe Biden took office.
Although the crown prince wanted to strike a "relaxed tone" for their meeting, h
e "ended up shouting at Mr. Sullivan after he raised the 2018 killing of Saudi j
ournalist Jamal Khashoggi," the newspaper reported.
"The prince told Mr. Sullivan he never wanted to discuss the matter again," peop
le familiar with the discussion told The Journal. The crown prince also said tha
t the US "could forget about its request to boost oil production."
Khashoggi, 59, a longtime Washington Post columnist known for his criticism of t
he Saudi kingdom, was assassinated and dismembered at the Saudi Consulate in Ist
anbul on October 2, 2018, after going there to get paperwork for his upcoming ma
rriage.
The CIA concluded a little over a month later that Prince Mohammed, also known a
s MBS, had personally ordered Khashoggi's murder.
The Journal's report on Tuesday detailed at length the deterioration of the US's
relationship with Saudi Arabia over the last several years. Those divisions hav
e deepened since Russia launched a full-scale, unprovoked invasion in Ukraine in
February.
The US and other Western nations have pushed the kingdom to increase its product
ion of crude oil to offset rising oil prices and squeeze Russia's ability to fin
ance its war. But, The Journal reported, Saudi Arabia has refused to do so thus
far and its interests remain aligned with Russia's.
