Biden’s Untapped Options to Pressure Saudi Arabia Over Khashoggi - Bloomberg



The Biden administration imposed only modest new sanctions Friday after releasing an intelligence report that said Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman signed off on the 2018 murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. But other steps will follow within days.

President Joe Biden said in an interview with Univision News that he told Saudi King Salman in a phone call this week that “the rules are changing,” and Biden said the administration will announce more actions on Monday.
