WASHINGTON — Saudi Arabia on Wednesday allowed US citizen Saad Almadi to return home to Florida — four years after he was incarcerated for tweeting mild criticisms of the Riyadh government. The announcement came moments after President Trump delivered a speech touting US-Saudi ties during a second day of public events in DC with visiting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the country’s prime minister and de facto ruler. “Our family is overjoyed that, after four long years, our father, Saad Almadi, is finally on his way home to the United States!” the Almadi family said in a statement.
