Friday Prayer for the Traveler

Question
A person works in a place that is more than 150 km away from his home; therefore, he is considered a traveler and can shorten the prayer. In this case, is Friday prayer obligatory for him?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: He is considered a traveler due to this distance, and Friday prayer is not obligatory upon him, and God knows best.
