WASHINGTON Saudi Arabias crown prince returns to Washington this week with a warning: If more isnt done to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, his country will pursue its own, as soon as possible.
Mohammed bin Salmans second official visit to Washington, the first of more than half a dozen U.S. cities he plans to visit, kicks off Tuesday with meetings at the White House with President Donald Trump and top members of the administration, including Vice President Mike Pence and national security adviser H.R. McMaster.
The visit comes as senior U.S. officials have grown increasingly worried that the crown prince's aggressive moves in the region may further destabilize the Middle East and shortly after more than a dozen current and former senior U.S. officials told NBC News that intelligence indicates MBS as the crown prince is known has blocked his mother from seeing his father, King Salman, for at least two years, as he has solidified his grip on power.
