Saudi Arabia Rules Out Mediation In Canada Row, May Take More Measures

According to Reuters, Saudi Arabia said that there is no room for mediation in the country's deepening diplomatic dispute with Canada, and that Canada knew what it needed to do to “fix its big mistake”. Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said that the kingdom was still “considering additional measures” against Canada, but did not elaborate. Saudi Arabia on Sunday froze new trade with Canada and expelled the Canadian ambassador in retaliation for Ottawa’s call to free arrested Saudi civil society activists.
