Saudi Arabia to halt deals with German firms amid rising tensions

Saudi Arabia to halt deals with German firms amid rising tensions
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman

Riyadh - Mubasher: German magazine Der Spiegel reported on Friday that the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, has ordered that no more government contracts be awarded to German companies, according to Reuters.

The decision comes as relations between the two countries have stagnated due to different views of the main issues in the Middle East.

Last year, Saudi Arabia summoned its ambassador in Germany home for consultations over comments made by the foreign minister regarding Lebanon.

The German stance regarding Iran deal has not been in line with that of Saudi Arabia, as the kingdom supported the decision by President Donald Trump to withdraw the United States from the international nuclear agreement, and to impose economic sanctions on Tehran.
