No, I don't. Media companies are taking the lead instead saying they will not support vision 2030 or participate in any future 'Davos in the Desert' initiatives. CNN, NYT, FT, Bloomberg, along with the CEOs from Branson's Virgin Group and Altman's Sidealk Labs, have told the Saudi's that they're pulling out. Oil is the reason the U.S. will not do anything.

KSA will just go to a Chinese company and buy the service.
