Reema bint Bandar Al Saud (Arabic: ريما بنت بندر آل سعود; born 15 February 1975) is a member of House of Saud and the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States, a position she obtained similar to her father who was the Saudi Ambassador to the United States previously. Appointed by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz, she presented her credentials to Donald Trump on 8 July 2019 and took office as ambassador on 23 February 2019—becoming the first female to serve in the role of ambassador in the country's history.[2][3][4] She also holds the rank of minister.[5] She has advocated for female empowerment and has worked to expand opportunities for Saudi women within the Kingdom.[6][7]
