U.S. President Joe Biden told reporters outside the White House that he would be 'making an announcement' on Saudi Arabia on Monday, with regards to the country's role in the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, though a White House official suggested it won't be anything new.

For Reuters customers only.~** "Mr. Biden, are you going to punish the Crown Prince?" "There'll be an announcement on Monday as to what we are going to be doing with Saudi Arabia generally." U.S. President Joe Biden reiterated on Saturday that he would be making an 'announcement' on Saudi Arabia on Monday, over the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
That follows a US intelligence report made public on Friday, which revealed that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, had approved the execution.
However a White House official played down the upcoming announcement, suggesting no new significant steps should be expected after Friday's moves.
The U.S. imposed a visa ban on some Saudis believed to have been involved in the murder and sanctioned others.
Until his death in 2018, Khashoggi had written opinion columns critical of the Crown Prince's policies.
He was killed and dismembered in the kingdom's consulate in Istanbul.
The Crown Prince has consistently denied any involvement and the Saudi government on Friday rejected the U.S. report, reiterating their claims that Khashoggi was killed by a rogue group.
Biden's administration faces growing pressure to take a tougher stance on the Crown Prince, who had not been sanctioned despite being blamed.
As tensions escalate in the Ukraine conflict, Russian officials accuse the Biden administration of deliberately obstructing peace efforts ahead of President-elect Trump’s return to the White House. With U.S.-supplied weapons striking deep into Russian territory and Putin issuing stark warnings to NATO, the stakes have never been higher. Is Biden’s outgoing administration fueling conflict to hinder Trump’s diplomatic plans? Explore the latest developments and their global implications.

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions.

Putin and Saudi Crown Prince MBS held a phone discussion on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and oil markets amid Trump's US election victory. The call, initiated by Saudi Arabia, covered OPEC Plus coordination and bilateral relations. With Trump's pro-Israel stance and history of facilitating Saudi-Israel normalization, this conversation gains strategic significance. As US-Saudi relations may improve under Trump, Putin's engagement suggests Russia's effort to maintain Middle East influence, while leveraging OPEC Plus partnerships.
