correspondent for the wall street journal. if you were assessing to date, and this trip isn t over for the u.s. president, but if were you assessing to date how it has gone, how would you rate it? well, i mean, i think the president dcame in last night, had this meeting with the crown prince, really scrutinized with how they were going to engage with each other, and i think it went off without anything really bad, anything really going wrong. so he, the president had to come and have these conversations. they spent two or three hours ago. but it s the optics. yeah, it was a fist bump, it wasn t a warm handshake. there were some smiles in this meeting. you know, i think it probably went about as well as the white house could have hoped for. the president, you know, even a few weeks ago was saying this meeting wasn t going to happen. he was going to make the trip but not meet with the crown prince and had to walk that back. it s never easy to do.
