US President Donad Trump
Washington - Arab News
US President Donald Trump congratulated Saudi Arabia Tuesday for its decision to join the rest of the world in allowing women to drive, calling it a “positive step” for the ultra-conservative kingdom.
“President Donald J. Trump commends the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s decision today to affirm the right of women to drive in the kingdom,” a White House statement read.
“This is a positive step toward promoting the rights and opportunities of women in Saudi Arabia.”
Earlier, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert hailed the “very positive sign.”
“We’re just happy today,” she added.
Earlier, Saudi officials had announced that it would allow women to drive from next June, a victory for a long campaign by women’s rights activists.
“We will continue to support Saudi Arabia in its efforts to strengthen Saudi society and the economy through reforms like this,” the White House said.
