King Salman of Saudi Arabia is meeting with President Obama today. The King took the throne in January. This will be his first U.S. visit. It’s expected the two leaders will discuss the Iran nuclear deal, due for a vote by Congress in the coming weeks. Saudi Arabia considers Iran to be a major regional rival.
