Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal called on US President-elect Donald Trump to reassure Arabs that they are allies to his future administration, noting that he is seeking to meet with him after a heated conflict between the two.

The prince made this statement during an interview with America’s CNBC and he noted that he congratulated Trump on his victory in a tweet.

On Wednesday, Bin Talal tweeted: “President elect @realDonaldTrump whatever the past differences, America has spoken, congratulations & best wishes for your presidency.”

In a television interview broadcasted yesterday, Bin Talal said: “The Middle East needs some reassurance from Trump that the Arab world remains an ally.”

He added that he is “seeking to meet” with the American President-elect, expecting that any conflict between them is put aside.

The Saudi billionaire also cited reports that Trump had deleted some of his posts on Twitter referencing Muslims.
