Delegations from Israel, North Korea and Turkey have arrived in Riyadh. It is uncertain what role they have in relation to the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict. The Saudi Arabian Foreign Ministry acknowledged not only the presence of these delegations but the earlier arrival of a delegation from the People’s Republic of China they initially had stated were Chinese businessmen investigating the possibility of establishing a chain of Chinese restaurants in the Kingdom. No answer was given by Saudi officials as to why these delegations had arrived.
In a press conference this morning President Donald Trump said only, “Get ready for a deal baby. I love a deal. America loves to watch me dealing.”
A small group of anti-Russian demonstrators, Greek students on a exchange programme were seen outside The Hilton Desert Inn in Riyadh where many of the American and Russian delegation were staying. Sources say they were rounded up and have yet to be heard from. The Saudi Foreign Ministry stated the group were most likely fossil fuel haters and to hate fossil fuel is an affront to the King subject to beheading.
