Johnson's Saudi comments were 'misconstrued'

Boris Johnson has been given support from his Saudi Arabian counterpart, who claimed the Foreign Secretary's words on the Saudis' actions in the Middle East were "misconstrued". At a press conference after meetings with King Salman and Saudi ministers on Sunday, however, Mr Johnson said he believed "in a candour in our relationship". Saudi foreign affairs minister Adel al-Jubeir said Mr Johnson's comments were "misconstrued or taken out of context".
