Tillerson holds briefing in Saudi Arabia without US press

I like it!  Nice dis.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson briefed the media in Saudi Arabia on Sunday without members of the American press in attendance.
Tillerson held the press conference with the Saudi foreign minister, Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir, but it appeared that only foreign reporters were present. Journalists from the United States were left scrambling to figure out what happened.
The State Department later apologized, adding that it couldn't notify the press in time.
State Department spokesman R.C. Hammond said there was "not enough time to alert or make arrangements for U.S. media to participate."

Tillerson gave the media a big middle finger.   :silly:
