Claim 1: “Crown Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saud... leads the Saudi delegation”

MISLEADING

The claim identifies 'Crown Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saud' as leading the delegation. However, the evidence from web searches clarifies that Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman is the 'Energy Minister'. While he did lead the delegation, he is not the 'Crown Prince' of Saudi Arabia; the Wikipedia evidence confirms that Mohammed bin Salman is the Crown Prince. The claim conflates the Energy Minister's title with the Crown Prince's title.
