US President Barack Obama hosts youthful Saudi Arabian Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House on Friday, underscoring his guest's meteoric rise and increasingly pivotal role in strained US-Saudi ties.
White House spokesman Eric Schultz said Obama would meet the 30-year-old deputy crown prince, who has become the driving force behind economic reform and a more activist Saudi foreign policy.
King Salman's son, who is his country's defense minister, has met the very biggest of Washington's big hitters during a week-long visit.
He held talks with the CIA director, the secretaries of state, defense and treasury, as well as leading members of Congress.
The White House said Prince Mohammed's meeting with Obama will take place in the Oval Office -- a rare honor for a non-head of state, one not afforded to the Dalai Lama earlier in the week.
Little is certain about the inner workings of the House of Saud, but the prince's high public profile has led many to speculate that he could be the next on the throne, rather than designated Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef.
He is notionally number three in the hierarchy, but effectively he's number one," said Simon Henderson of the Washington Institute, a think tank focused on the Middle East.
"The King prefers his son and wants his son to be king," said Henderson.
For the White House, Mohammed bin Salman is a relative unknown, while Mohammed bin Nayef -- as interior minister -- has been the go-to royal on counterterrorism for years.
Prince Mohammed "wants to be known on the US side," said Gregory Gause, head of the international affairs department at Texas A&M University's Bush School of Government and Public Service. "It's an effort by him to be recognized."

Any relation to Noor Salman (Mateen)?
What’s the prince’s take on the Twin Falls rape of a little girl?
Is Obunghole assuming the proper subserviant stance before his Muslim superior?
He “is the deputy crown prince of Saudi Arabia, second deputy prime minister and the youngest minister of defense in the world.[1] Mohammad is also chief of the House of Saud royal court, and chairman of the Council for Economic and Development Affairs. He has been described as the power behind the throne of his father, King Salman.” (Wiki)
From the article :
...Obama’s administration has been repeatedly embarrassed by the killing of civilians and worried that while the war has dragged on, Al-Qaeda has been allowed to grow.
More than 6,400 Yemenis have been killed since the intervention started 15 months ago, the majority of them civilians.
The Huthis remain in control of most of the central and northern highlands as well as the Red Sea coast.
The United Nations had blacklisted the Saudi-led coalition after concluding in a report that it was responsible for 60 percent of the 785 deaths of children in Yemen last year.
But the world body later reversed its stance, with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon citing “undue pressure” from Saudi Arabia and its allies who had threatened to cut off funding to UN aid programs over the blacklisting.
There are signs that the war may be winding down and Saudi Arabia and its allies may be shifting focus to tackling Al-Qaeda.
The United Arab Emirates on Wednesday announced its “war is over” in Yemen, although left open the prospect of a continued counterterrorism role.
Just another Arab thug.

He looks like a first class a-hole to me.
Are they going to use the back door of the White House to greet him like they did Netanyahu?
Who will procure for this prince during his visit? He’s only 30.
That’s a phoney baloney “trust me” used-car-salesman’s face.

How much can he bench?
Probably not. But I doubt he gives a damn about those issues, what’s important to him is that his boots are licked.
