What Salman made of Trump's Saudi visit

Back in Saudi Arabia, King Salman has described Trump's weekend visit as a "turning point" in relations between the two countries, according to state news agency SPA.

Speaking to his council of ministers, Salman also praised the "historic agreement" between Gulf monarchies and Washington "to take firm measures to target the financing of terrorism" and the setting up of a Riyadh-based centre for this task, SPA said.

The hub will be known as the Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology - or "Etital", the Arabic for “moderation”.
