Saudi Prince Finds Both Friends and Disapproval at G-20 Summit - Bloomberg

Saudi Prince Finds Both Friends and Disapproval at G-20 Summit - Bloomberg:

Saudi Arabian leaders are usually low-key attendees of international summits, leaving the public showboating to others.

This time the spotlight was unavoidable for Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. After spending two days hunkered in the Saudi residence in a posh neighborhood in the Argentinian capital, he emerged to join other Group of 20 leaders.

Courted just months ago by Western politicians and business elite for the economic and social reforms he promoted for the conservative kingdom, the young prince is now the focus of unwanted attention over the brutal murder of columnist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
