Saudi Crown Prince Won't Attend G7 Summit in Canada

Saudi Crown Prince Won't Attend G7 Summit in Canada

Imagine a very important meeting of the world's richest countries called the G7.

This year, it's in Canada.

Saudi Arabia is sometimes invited, even though it's not officially part of the G7.

The person in charge of Saudi Arabia, called the Crown Prince, was invited but said he couldn't come.

Nobody knows exactly why.

Some people in Canada were unhappy that he was invited because they disagree with some things his country has done.

The G7 is still happening, with other important leaders from places like Ukraine, Mexico, and the United States going.
