WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden's national security advisers are holding high-level diplomatic talks this week with Saudi Arabia's top defense official – who is also the brother of the kingdom's crown prince Mohammed bin Salman – months after the White House publicly released a U.S. intelligence assessment concluding the crown prince approved the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed a meeting on Tuesday between Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan and Prince Khalid bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s deputy defense minister. Bin Salman is also meeting Tuesday with officials from the State Department and the Pentagon.
