Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – A spokesman for the Saudi embassy in America, Fahd Nazer, responded to a question asked regarding the reports that dealt with the meeting between the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the US National Security Adviser, Jake Sullivan, and the allegations of the prince’s “controversy.” Saudi Arabia refuses to increase oil production.
The question was directed to the Saudi speaker during a radio interview “Podcast”, where the question stated: “Reports spread in the American and international media that the National Security Adviser to the American administration, Jake Sullivan met the Saudi Crown Prince and they got into an argument because Sullivan confronted the Crown Prince regarding Jamal Khashoggi and the Crown Prince shouted at him and said We won’t produce more oil, what’s your response to that?”
Contrary to some media reports, #Saudi-US relations are on solid ground. I discuss bilateral relations and the latest developments in #Yemen during an interview with Maine radio.

Nazer replied in the audio clip, which he posted on his official Twitter page: “Contrary to reports, relations exist and extend and remain strong, and there is almost daily communication between Saudi officials and their American counterparts, and there is close coordination on a long list of issues, including security, defense, combating terrorism, strengthening economic cooperation and investment between our two countries…”
He added, “We work closely together on energy and climate issues, and therefore the two countries are closely coordinating on a number of issues, including Yemen, and these reports are simply not true…”
And the American Wall Street Journal had published a report in which it touched upon the meeting of Saudi King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman with US National Security Adviser Jack Sullivan in the kingdom, and said: “Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who He wore shorts at his seaside mansion, to a calm tone in his first meeting with President Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, last September.
“The 36-year-old crown prince ended up yelling at Mr. Sullivan following he brought up the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018,” the newspaper claimed, adding that, according to “people familiar with the conversation, the prince told Mr. Sullivan that he never wanted to discuss the matter.” It’s it once more.. He told Sullivan that the United States might forget regarding its request to increase oil production.”
