Prince Salman meets with old Cookie Clinton
Sweaty hands methinks
After meeting with US President Donald Trump and his administration on his arrival in Washington DC on 19 March, MBS’s exhausting schedule took him to Boston. He is currently in New York and will travel on to Houston, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
His itinerary is packed with America’s best, brightest and most influential.
On Tuesday alone in New York City, the prince is believed to have met with former secretary of state Henry Kissinger, ex-president Bill and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, New York state senator Chuck Schumer, UN secretary general Antonio Guterres and businessman and former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Other notable media meetings include dinner with The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman, Rupert Murdoch, the head of The Atlantic’s editorial board Jeffrey Goldberg, meetings with the editorial boards of The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times and San Francisco Chronicle, as well as interviews with Time and Vanity Fair.
Current government officials on MBS’s schedule include CIA director (and nominee for new US secretary of state) Mike Pompeo, vice president Mike Pence, senior advisor and unofficial Middle East envoy Jared Kushner, national security adviser HR McMaster and defence secretary James Mattis.
He is also meeting past luminaries such as Barack Obama, John Kerry, Gen David Petraeus and Condoleezza Rice, as well as paying a visit to George W Bush’s Texas ranch.
Other notable meets outside of politics include Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Tim Cook of Apple and the CEOs of Microsoft, Boeing, Amazon, Uber, the Walt Disney Company and Lockheed Martin.
“This is a very deliberate bipartisan outreach. It is also a reminder of the close relationship the US has with Saudi Arabia in general, and not just Donald Trump and Jared Kushner,” said Jane Kinninmont, a senior research fellow at Chatham House’s Middle East and North Africa Programme.
