President Trump hosted Saudi Arabia's Vice Minister of Defense Prince Khalid bin Salman in the Oval Office Monday - and didn't tell the press about it. A photograph tweeted out by the prince - who is the brother of Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman - shows him sitting alongside Jared Kushner, Robert O'Brien, Trump's national security adviser, and Victoria Coates, O'Brien's deputy.
Trump is seated at the Resolute Desk.
The meeting was not on the president's schedule, nor was the press pool informed that Prince Khalid was at the White House.
The White House Correspondents' Association slammed the White House for keeping it off-the-books.
'It is disturbing to see the government of Saudi Arabia have more transparency than the White House about a meeting with the president in the Oval Office,' said WHCA President Jonathan Karl in a statement.

Saudi Arabia and Yemen would be better areas for Iran to retaliate.
