Saudi crown prince got everything he wanted from his trip to the U.S.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 82%. (I'm a bot)


Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman has had what can only be considered a spectacularly successful visit to the United States - especially after a President Donald Trump approved a $1.3 billion artillery deal on Thursday.

Headline after headline covering MBS' trip to the United States calls him a "Reformer," owing to the fact that the Saudi kingdom will finally allow women to drive this summer and will allow them to attend sports games in stadiums.

Time magazine is among the few publications that brought up some of the more thorny issues in its interview with the crown prince, who noted that the United States also has the death penalty and that Saudi is aiming to reduce its number of executions "Big time."
