MADRID: US President Joe Biden said on Thursday he would see Saudi Arabia's king and crown prince during a visit to the country next month but that the purpose of his trip was not to press them to increase oil output to curb soaring crude prices.
"I've indicated to them that I thought they should be increasing oil production generically, not to the Saudis, particularly," Biden told reporters. Weeks after taking office last year, Biden shifted US policy on Saudi Arabia, adopting a tougher stance over the kingdom's human rights record and in particular the killing and dismembering of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018.
He cannot even if he wants to, MBS is such a pariah according to Biden !!!
Haven't Biden seen the viral Saudi State TV program making a mockery of him and Kamala? Crown Prince obviously knows who he is dealing with.
