Saudi Arabia and the Middle East need to be reassured of American commitment, Saudi Prince Turki Al-Faisal told CNBC.
Saudi Arabia wants the U.S. to show that Washington is committed to the kingdom, and that means leaving American defense equipment in Saudi Arabia, Prince Turki Al-Faisal told CNBC.
"That looks like, for example, not withdrawing Patriot missiles from Saudi Arabia at a time when Saudi Arabia is the victim of missile attacks and drone attacks — not just from Yemen, but from Iran," he said. The kingdom said it intercepted a Houthi ballistic missile and armed drones that were fired on Saturday.in what is seen as a proxy war with Iran.
Separately, U.S. President Joe Biden has ordered the widespread declassification of documents relating to the September 11, 2001 attacks. In an executive order signed on Sept. 3, Biden said information should only remain classified if its release would pose a clear national security threat.
