Bandar is gone - from Recent Developments Review

Prince Bandar meeting Russian President Putin in Moscow in August 2013.

Last October Prince Bandar was quoted as saying US-Saudi relations would see a “major shift” as a result of Washington’s policies toward Syria and Iran. A source cited by Reuters said, “Prince Bandar told diplomats that he plans to limit interaction with the U.S.” In the interim exchange visits to Washington and Riyadh by senior officials and the late March meeting between President Obama and King Abdullah appear to have quieted the fractious rhetoric.
