President Joe Biden has “no plans” to meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at a November G20 summit in Indonesia, US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday.
Biden “has no plans to meet with the crown prince at the G20 summit,” Sullivan told CNN, speaking as already stormy US-Saudi relations have been further strained by Riyadh’s support for oil production cuts.
The planned cuts have infuriated Washington, with Biden warning on Tuesday of unspecified “consequences.”
