John Kerry Meets With Saudi King

Differences over how to deal with the situation in Syria have been contributing to recent tensions

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia—RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — The United States and Saudi Arabia promised each other and the region Monday that they would continue to work together, with Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal saying "our two friendly countries" are busy dealing jointly with troublesome issues like Syria, Iran and the Mideast peace process.

"There is no room for emotion and anger here, but rather for policies of commonsense and level-headedness," Faisal said at a joint news conference with Kerry.
