President Donald Trump says he might have a discussion with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during a summit they're both attending in Argentina, but so far they've haven't.
"We had no discussion. We might, but we had none," Trump told reporters Friday.
Relations between Washington and Riyadh are tense in the wake of the brutal killing of Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Post. Khashoggi, who had been critical of the royal family, was killed by the Saudis at the nation's consulate in Istanbul.
A White House official says that, so far, Trump has only exchanged pleasantries with the crown prince at the leaders' opening session just as he did with nearly every leader in attendance.
Trump spoke after a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe where Trump hopes to visit next year.
Trump also met with Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
