Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s first trip abroad since the killing of Khashoggi will offer an early indication of whether he will face any repercussions. The prince is visiting close allies in the Middle East before attending the Group of 20 Summit in Argentina, where he will come face to face with Trump, who appears keen to preserve their friendship, as well as European leaders and Turkey’s president, who has stepped up pressure on the kingdom. | (J.

The voice vote in favor of the measure followed roll-call passage of a measure that would end U.S. involvement in the Saudi-led war in Yemen.
