Riyadh, October 29 (RHC)-- In Saudi Arabia, top Trump administration officials are joining financial industry executives at a Saudi investment forum, ignoring international calls for a boycott over the kingdom’s gross human rights violations, its disastrous war in Yemen and the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi operatives one year ago. 

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner are leading the U.S. delegation this week to the “Future Investment Initiative” — known as “Davos in the Desert.”  

Also attending are Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, top hedge fund managers and the CEOs of Citigroup, Credit Suisse and HSBC.
