Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has heaped praise upon Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, saying he will be “one of the most important leaders of his time.”
In his new book, ‘Never Give an Inch: Fighting for the America I Love,’ Pompeo devotes a significant portion to US-Saudi relations and defends the need for close ties with Riyadh.
The Washington Post has criticized Pompeo for his book in which he said the media was trying to “fracture” Washington’s ties with Saudi Arabia.
“Much of this had to do with Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and the heir to the Saudi throne,” the former top US diplomat writes. “The progressive Left hates MBS, in spite of the fact that he is leading the greatest cultural reform in the Kingdom’s history.”
