Mohammed bin Salman is the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia and the kingdom's de facto ruler. He launched the Vision 2030 economic-diversification program, eased the country's religious-police powers and lifted the ban on women driving, while consolidating power through a high-profile 2017 purge of rival royals and business elites. He has also led the Saudi-coalition military intervention in Yemen and pursued expanded ties with major powers; the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, which U.S. intelligence concluded he ordered, drew sustained international criticism.
