The White House unsuccessfully tried to arrange calls between President Biden and the de facto leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as the U.S. was working to build international support for countering Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and contain a surge in oil prices, said Middle East and U.S. officials.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the U.A.E.’s Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan both declined U.S. requests to speak to Mr. Biden in recent weeks, the officials said, as Saudi and Emirati officials have become more vocal in recent weeks in their criticisms of American policy in the Gulf.
“There was some expectation of a phone call, but it didn’t happen,“ said a U.S. official of the planned discussion between the Saudi Prince Mohammed and Mr. Biden. ”It was part of turning on the spigot [of Saudi oil].”

Pulled missiles from SA and UAE... no, that can't be it... giving the Iranian mullahcracy billions and greenlighting their nuke program? Nah, no way...
From a well qualified leader to this.
Even our former allies won’t talk to us.
Poland must be doing a double take right about now, seeing
how inept the Biden Brigade is.
Wow, hat in hand and no go. Ouch. They would have answered Trump because Trump was smart enough to have tied Iran in knots for them. So, for those keeping score Lieden has destroyed the relationships in the middle east that were rock solid under Trump, including, Israel, UAE, Saudis. He’s destroyed the clear understanding with Putin regarding eastern Europe and has Pakistan and India in agreement that they are not interested in these sanctions against Russia. That is a lot of foreign policy failure in just over a year.
Laugh or cry - it’s your choice.
I’ll laugh because it’s funny. It’s funny that there are people that think they’re important because they say so, and idiots believe them and elect them - they’re so important they can’t get little countries to return their phone calls.
It’s actually funny as can be.
And all because Bidet wanted to suck up to his pals at the Washington Post.
Democrats are always stunned that after they stab someone in the back, that person is not interested in their future calls for “unity”.
;-)
I’m beginning to feel that even Kim Jong Un is more respected worldwide than the guy who stole the presidency.
“”””Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the U.A.E.’s Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan both declined U.S. requests to speak to Mr. Biden in recent weeks””””
That has got to hurt the ego of the Biden Crime Family.
What’s next-—Will Maduro not answer his phone because Biden is not Communist enough?????
Strong suit?
Maybe it is.
Ugh!
Nobody wants to talk to our clown?
But, but, obiden said there 9000 permits to drill for oil!
Only thing they are probably empty drill sites.
OMG!!! EMBARRASSING!
Let me add-—
Saudi Arabia produces 10,000,000 barrels per day of crude oil
Joe Biden stole the election in Nov 2020 and oil was $43.
Today oil is $123
Do the math
Saudi Arabia is raking in an additional $800 MILLION dollars per day because of the Biden Crime Family.
No reason for the Saudi’s to take Biden’s phone call when they are making money hand over fist because of Biden’s incompetence.
Hey Democrat voters...sorry yet
“””Hey Democrat voters...sorry yet”””
I would add-—Hey Anti-Trump Republicans....sorry yet.
Agree joe just keep f’n everything up
Putin is two steps ahead of Sleepy Joe and the gang. Guaranteed ,Vlad made a phone call to our fair weather friends in the Gulf region!
Biden calling the Saudi King: “Hello? Hello?
He calls again and hears a ‘click’....
He calls again and hears a busy signal.
Biden to corrupt media. “I had frank talks with the leader of Saudi Arabia and they will increase oil production”
Corrupt media spreads the lies.
Maybe....just MAYBE...it was not a good idea to piss off the Saudis and the Emirates by trying to snuggle up to Iran....especially at a time when you’d already slashed domestic production of oil and gas as much as possible.
Wouldn’t even take his calls.
That’s the level of respect Biden has around the globe.
Remember when they were saying Trump wasn’t respected? By who? The Western Europeans? You mean like the Germans who have now had to do a U-turn on every single last thing they have stood for for over 30 years? Trump wasn’t respected by arrogant fools like that?
