CAIRO – 27 September 2017: U.S. President Donald Trump praised Tuesday, the latest decree of King Salman allowing Saudi women to drive, the White House said, according to Washington Examiner.

“The decision improves women’s rights and opportunities in Saudi Arabia. We will always support Saudi Arabia in such efforts to reform Saudi society and economy,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement Tuesday evening.

King Salman bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia issued a decree on Tuesday allowing women to drive cars, state media said, ending the conservative Islamic kingdom's status as the only country where that is forbidden.
