Trump Meets with Saudi Deputy Crown Prince at the White House
-------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump met with Saudi Arabia's Deputy Crown Prince Mohammad bin
Salman at the White House Tuesday, where the two reportedly discussed
their opposition to the landmark 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Prince Mohammad
and President Trump were also expected to discuss U.S. arms sales to
Saudi Arabia for the ongoing Saudi-led war in Yemen, which has killed
thousands of civilians. Amnesty International urged Trump to block
future arms sales, writing, "Arming the Saudi Arabia and Bahrain
governments risks complicity with war crimes, and doing so while
simultaneously banning travel to the U.S. from Yemen would be even more
unconscionable."
