The government of Saudi Arabia is refusing to let a White House reporter for the Jerusalem Post enter the country to cover President Obama’s visit, leaving the administration “very disappointed.”

The White House Correspondents’ Association has gone public with a complaint, calling a Saudi decision “outrageous” to deny a visa to Michael Wilner, the Jerusalem Post’s Washington bureau chief.

Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes declared the U.S. government was “very disappointed by the Saudi decision.”

Rhodes told reporters on Air Force One that the White House made it clear to the Saudis the importance of the Jerusalem Post reporter’s access to the trip.
“It certainly should not be the case that the affiliation of a journalist should in any way count against their ability to do their job, just because they work for the Jerusalem Post,” Rhodes said.

But the decision did not prompt the White House to reconsider Obama’s stop in the country. He is scheduled to arrive there Friday and meet with His Majesty Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
