“The renewed engagement of the USA and Western nations with Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman illustrates why this decision was correct,” a statement said. A UK visit would be the latest sign of Western countries welcoming the crown prince back into the diplomatic fold after he was frozen out following the murder.
