Saudi's King Salman to Skip Gulf Leaders' Meeting with Obama 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
Saudi Arabia meanwhile has announced its new leader, King Salman, will
skip a key meeting of Gulf nations hosted by President Obama this week.
Obama had called the summit in a bid to address the concerns of Middle
East allies over the proposed Iran nuclear deal. The White House had
said King Salman would be attending. But in what is being described as a
message of protest over the Iran talks, Saudi Arabia said Sunday it will
send lower-level officials.
