This crime that they're trying to charge you with, it's only applicable under the law to US citizens and US persons.

You definitely don't have a US passport.
So I was like, OK, still didn't feel very good about it.
January 2022, I went from Dubai to Saudi Arabia, because Saudi Arabia was holding a conference on technology.

Pretty mundane conference.
