Pompeo Meets Saudi King, Crown Prince on Iran

Edward Yeranian

   CAIRO, EGYPT - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with Saudi King
   Salman Monday, before going for a "working lunch" with his son and
   heir, Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, at a restaurant in the Red Sea
   resort town of Jeddah. The visit took place at a time of strong
   tensions with Iran and what analysts say is growing frustration in the
   region.

   Saudi-owned al Arabiya TV showed Pompeo and his entourage meeting with
   the Saudi king at the summer royal palace in the Red Sea port city of
   Jeddah.

   Immediately after that meeting, Pompeo met with his son Crown Prince
   Mohammed Bin Salman. Correspondents traveling with Pompeo indicated
   that the Crown Prince appeared to make Pompeo wait for a short while,
   before meeting him.
