A jovial President Donald Trump has held a warm and friendly meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman at the White House. Trump brushed aside questions about Saudi Arabia’s human rights record, praised the prince for his statesmanship and announced hundreds of billions of dollars in new Saudi investment in the United States. The White House rolled out plenty of pomp for the Saudi royal on Tuesday, including dispatching fighter jets that the two leaders watched from a red carpet. The two leaders had a sitdown in the Oval Office, taking questions from reporters on a wide array of topics, ranging from commerce to the sale of advanced F-35 fighter jets to Riyadh.
