Saudi Arabia pressures dual citizens to renounce U.S. citizenship or face imprisonment.

Saudi Arabia is pressuring at least four dual Saudi-American citizens, including 74-year-old Florida retiree Saad Almadi, to renounce their U.S. citizenship after imprisoning them for social media posts critical of the country's crown prince. Almadi was jailed and then banned from returning to the U.S., with his family claiming Saudi officials demanded he give up his American citizenship to lift the ban. This tactic could complicate U.S. efforts to improve relations with Saudi Arabia.
