Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman shouted at President Joe Biden's national security adviser when he was pressed on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi and said he would not help the U.S. out by pumping more oil.
The staggering decline of U.S.-Saudi relations under the Biden administration was outlined in a Wall Street Journal report
Last September, Biden National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan met with the Saudi Crown prince, who goes by his initials MBS, at a seaside palace.
Sullivan brought up Khashoggi, the Washington Post columnist who was murdered in 2018 in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
MSB shouted at Sullivan in return and told him that he never wanted to speak of the matter again. And, he added, the U.S. could forget its request that Saudi Arabia increase its oil production, which the administration was pushing for to help bring down gas prices.
Saudia Arabia is irritated with the frosty reception it has received from the United States since Biden took office.
President Biden has refused to speak to MBS and has limited his direct conversations to the ailing and elderly King Salman, MBS' father.
Biden is said to see the king as his direct counterpart. But in Saudi Arabia, the king chooses his successor and Salman, 86, has handed de facto control of the country to MBS, 36.
Relations have been going down hill for months.
In March, it was reported the Saudis declined an administration request for a phone call with Biden, a report the White House denied. After the kingdom declined to talk to Biden, MBS held that March phone call with Putin.

Talk about an arrogant senile putz.
There's a journalist missing in Ukraine, and it's suspected that the Ukie Stasi might have him.
Of course, the Western Media doesn't care - and some media scum are actually CELEBRATING his disappearance [he reports against The Approved Narrative].
So screw Khashoggi.
May dogs and monkeys feast well.
No because they don’t get stung, we do.
It’s none of our business.
I don’t see them obsessing over Putin’s political enemies getting the same treatment.............
Different Prince..................
10% for the Big Guy.
Of course, the Western Media doesn't care - and some media scum are actually CELEBRATING his disappearance [he reports against The Approved Narrative].
I'm beginning to hope that Pootie makes an example out of more than a few "journalists" - after all, their duplicity in the propaganda keeping this thing going is getting his guys killed.
He was a urinolist dontcha know. Got to keep the MSM happy.
Sullivan brought up Khashoggi...
Think about that. You’re mission is to get the Saudi’s to pump more oil to control prices in the US. And our envoy thinks to himself, “I know! I’ll bring up the most contentious issue between our 2 countries, that’ll help me get what we need!”
Brilliant. These guys couldn’t pour a bodily fluid out of a boot if the instructions were written on the sole.
Musk is in a battle with Prince Waleed. Waleed was jailed by Crown Prince Salman and forced to give up some of his (ill-gotten?) fortune. Waleed is trying to block Musk’s control of Twitter, but has a stake smaller than Musk.
Kashoggi was in Islamist-dominated Khartoum, Sudan, in 1993; he was the first journalist to get a sit-down with Osama Bin Laden. Thereafter, he was Al Qaeda’s favorite journalist.
The left thinks they can use the same tactics they use on western countries.
Our WOKE ‘intelligence’ folks are fools.
Man up Jake Sullivan - there’s mothers whose kids were killed or maimed at the in Christmas parade in Waukesha who are doing better than you and that buffoon Kashoggi...
Sullivan needs to find a safe place and curl up into a little ball until he gets over Khashoggi’s death.
Well, sure. They have a lot in common.
One word....fracking.
Even if Khashoggi was reporting the truth I really don’t think it’s germane to the situation at hand.
CC
HE did it on purpose.
Our current BIDEN/OBAMA/SOROS government want us to suffer and fail.
remember how the fake stream enemdia said Trump was going to start WWIII & destroy our relationships with our allies?
Was Jamal Khashoggi a member of the Muslim Brotherhood?
