Saudi Prince Discusses Lebanese File with U.S. Officials
Saudi Arabia's deputy defense minister has discussed the Lebanese file with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and State Department officials during a low-key visit to Washington that tackled several regional issues.
The State Department said the prince, Khalid bin Salman, met senior State Department officials Victoria Nuland and Derek Chollet and that Blinken participated in only part of the meeting.
The group discussed, among other issues, "the need for economic reform and humanitarian relief for the Lebanese people," a State Department statement said.
