President says he aims to reorient relations and meet with the crown prince, who he previously denounced as a pariah

on Saturday defended his decision to travel to Saudi Arabia saying human rights would be on his agenda as he gave a preview of a trip on which he aims to reset ties with the crown prince, who he previously denounced as a pariah.

In a commentary published in the Washington Post late Saturday, Biden said his aim was to reorient and not rupture relations with a country that has been a strategic partner of the US for 80 years. Biden needs oil-rich Saudi Arabia’s help at a time of high gasoline prices and as he encourages efforts to end the war in Yemen after the Saudis recently extended a ceasefire there. The United States also wants to curb Iran’s influence in the Middle East and China’s global sway.

Biden in crisis mode as specter of one-term Carter haunts White HousePresident urged to act more forcefully to deal with rising inflation, gun violence and dire supreme court rulings I'm afraid that nothing put down in this article has Biden's stamp on it.
