Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler will no longer travel to Japan this weekend, canceling what would have been his first visit in three years to one of the kingdom’s biggest oil customers.

Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman was scheduled to meet Prime Minister Fumio Kishida during a trip between Saturday and Monday, according to broadcaster TBS.
