US President Joe Biden does not plan a sit-down meeting with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman when the Group of 20 industrialized nations meet in Bali in coming days, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Friday.

Biden met with the crown prince in July. The Saudi-led OPEC+ cartel months later cut oil production in a blow to the Biden administration's efforts to contain domestic gas prices and inflation.
Biden touched down Saturday in Phnom Penh for the regional ASEAN summit ahead of next week's G20 meeting in Bali.
Biden, flying to Asia after a brief stopover in Egypt for the COP27 climate crisis conference, was also due to hold separate meetings while at ASEAN with the leaders of Cambodia, Japan and South Korea.
