At a press conference held at the Saudi embassy in Washington, Al-Jubeir said "the crisis in Qatar is a small issue on the agenda of the talks.

Al-Jubeir said that, during the visit, HRH the Crown Prince will meet with US President Donald Trump and his deputy, a number of lawmakers and officials in the US administration, as well as many heads of large US companies to review the objectives of the Kingdom's vision 2030. The Foreign Minister added that HRH the Crown Prince's visit to the United States will last for two weeks during which he will visit seven US cities, and will hold political, economic and development meetings with the American side. On Iran and its threats in the region, the Foreign Minister said, "There are two visions in the region, a vision of life led by Saudi Arabia, and a dark vision led by Iran", pointing out that the nuclear agreement did not address Iran's behavior and did not stop its interference and security threats in the region. He said, "There is a European-American understanding on the seriousness of the Iranian threats." On the announcement by the US President that he will not ratify the renewal of the nuclear agreement with Iran, the Foreign Minister said, "this is for the US administration and its policy, and Iran must be held accountable for the export of terrorism and the use of ballistic missiles and interference in the affairs of other countries. -- More 01:23 LOCAL TIME 22:23 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w645829
