Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said today the he won’t be attending the so-called “Davos in the Desert” summit in Saudi Arabia following the murder, torture and dismemberment of Saudi dissident and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi earlier this month.
"Just met with @realDonaldTrump and @SecPompeo and we have decided, I will not be participating in the Future Investment Initiative summit in Saudi Arabia," Mnuchin posted on Twitter.
