Saudi authorities on Wednesday permitted Saad Almadi, a US citizen from Florida, to finally leave the kingdom and return to American soil — marking the end of a four-year ordeal that began when he was jailed over a series of restrained social-media posts critical of Riyadh.

News of his release broke just as President Trump delivered remarks highlighting the strength of the American–Saudi partnership during a packed schedule of events in Washington with Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, who serves as both prime minister and the kingdom’s dominant decision-maker.

The Almadi family shared their relief immediately, issuing a heartfelt message saying, “Our family is overjoyed that, after four long years, our father, Saad Almadi, is finally on his way home to the United States!”

In their statement, the family made clear whom they believe deserves credit for the breakthrough. “This day would not have been possible without President Donald Trump and the tireless efforts of his administration. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Sebastian Gorka and the team at the National Security Council, as well as everyone at the State Department.”

The message — drafted by Almadi’s son and leading advocate, Ibrahim Almadi — also expressed appreciation for The Post’s “courageous” reporting that kept the case in the public eye, and acknowledged the backing of several advocacy groups and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), all of whom worked to advance the elder Almadi’s release.
