Mohammed bin Salman has arrived in Paris for a two-day official visit with French President Emmanuel Macron. Talks are expected to include the war in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, as well as new energy routes to bypass the Strait. The two made an appearance at the closing ceremony of the Esports World Cup, held for the first time outside of Saudi Arabia but largely funded by Riyadh.
