ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's King Salman will meet President Barack Obama at the White House on Sept. 4, the White House said, as Washington and Riyadh seek to shore up relations after a period of tension mainly over a U.S.-led nuclear deal with Iran.
It will be Salman's first visit to the United States since ascending the throne in January and follows his decision to skip a U.S. summit of Gulf Arab leaders that Obama hosted in May.
