Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has told U.S. President Joe Biden that Saudi Arabia had acted to prevent a repeat of mistakes like the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, while the United States had also made mistakes, including in Iraq, says a Saudi minister.

Biden said on Friday he holds Prince Mohammed responsible for the 2018 murder of Washington Post journalist Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, shortly after he exchanged a fist bump with the kingdom's de facto ruler.

"The President raised the issue... And the crown prince responded that this was a painful episode for Saudi Arabia and that it was a terrible mistake," said the kingdom's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir.
Those who were accused were brought to trial and are being punished with prison terms, he added.

U.S. intelligence agencies believe the crown prince ordered Khashoggi's killing, which he denies.

Minister al-Jubeir, talking to Reuters about Friday's conversation between the two leaders, said the crown prince had made the case that trying to impose values by force on other countries could backfire.

"It has not worked when the U.S. tried to impose values on Afghanistan and Iraq. In fact, it backfired. It does not work when people try to impose values by force on other countries," Jubeir quoted the prince as telling Biden.
