Update 2:<\/strong><\/u> Saudi foreign minister Adel Al-Jubeir has made a new statement – attempting to talk back The Kingdom’s rhetoric somewhat (or perhaps avoid sending its Canadian asset prices tumbling into a firesale).<\/p>\n

“What Canada did was unacceptable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canada committed a big mistake, must rectify it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We in Saudi Arabia do not accept dictation, interference.<\/p>\n

There is no need for mediation, Canada knows what it needs to do, it must change its policies, ways with The Kingdom.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Saudi measures only apply to new investments<\/u><\/strong> [ZH: so no immediate asset dumping]<\/p>\n

Saudis are still weighing other measures to take against Canada.<\/strong><\/u>“<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Update 1:<\/strong><\/u> Russia has sided with Saudi Arabia in the ongoing diplomatic rift with Canada<\/strong> on Wednesday, issuing a statement accusing the latter of attempting to \u201cpoliticize human rights issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement said Russia rejected the \u201cauthoritative tone\u201d of Canada toward Saudi Arabia, adding that the Kingdom had the full sovereign right to manage its own affairs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe consistently and firmly advocate compliance with universal human rights with due regard for the specific national customs and traditions that developed in a given country over a long period of time. We have always said that the politicization of human rights matters is unacceptable,\u201d<\/strong> Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement posted on the ministry\u2019s website.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Saudis have escalated their fury <\/strong>towards Trudeau’s “progressive” propaganda. Having expelled the Canadian ambassador, froze new trade and investment with the G7 member, suspended a student exchange program and halted Saudi Arabian Airlines flights to Canada, the Saudis are stepping up their pressure very directly.<\/p>\n
