Biden in Saudi Arabia: 'Washington needs a reset with the Kingdom'
France 24 ^

Posted on 07/16/2022 8:12:59 PM PDT by FarCenter

Tensions between Joe Biden and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had been high ahead of their first meeting in Saudi Arabia, especially after Biden's administration last year released an assessment by the intelligence community that Prince Mohammed "approved" the operation that led to Khashoggi's killing and dismemberment in the kingdom's Istanbul consulate. For more analysis on Biden's first visit to the Saudi Kingdom, FRANCE 24 is joined by Mohammed Soliman, Non-Resident Scholar at the Middle East Institute (MEI) in Washington DC. He does not believe that Biden's visit will significantly change its relationship with the US nor will it dramatically alter its energy policy or foreign policy. "Right now, we are in a global disorder," explains Mr. Soliman. Rather than favoring Washington over Beijing or Moscow, or vice versa, "regional powers and middle powers like Saudi Arabia, India, Nigeria, Egypt, Brazil [...] are trying to establish resilience, bilateral relations with all the powers on the global stage. And this is what a sovereign nation would do."

All these idiotic “resets” with the democrats.
Trump had a terrific relationship with the Saudis.

So no oil? Iran fired missiles in response? He killed the pipelines and sold a lot of US oil to China? I guess Biden and these cruel, very stupid people have come to the end of their rope. Did Venezuela say no also?

Maybe, MAYBE we can produce our own?

Maybe Joe can borrow Hilary’s ‘Reset’ button. The one she used while working for Obama.
Problem was, the Russian word she used did not mean ‘reset’. It meant ‘overload’.
Naturally, the press politely laughed it off andf praised her anyway, because she is Hilary Clinton, and that’s what one does.

No.

The fundamental transformation and destruction of our constitutional Republic must be completed by the TalyO’biden cartel.

Thanks for turning us into a client state of Iran, China, and Saudi Arabia, Brandon. Amazing accomplishment in less than two years.

much of the FakeNewsMSM are spinning the following 13m barrels as if the increase starts from now, to make it seem Biden’s trip was successful.
however, that doesn’t seem to be the case:

16 July: National News: Saudi Arabia: no additional capacity to increase oil production beyond 13 million bpd
The kingdom said it is targeting production capacity of 13 million bpd by 2027
by Ismaeel Naar
The kingdom previously said it was aiming at production capacity of 13 million bpd by 2027.

The crown prince also said that unified efforts were required to support the global economy and that unrealistic policies regarding energy sources would only lead to inflation.
“Adopting unrealistic policies to reduce emissions by excluding main sources of energy will lead in coming years to unprecedented inflation and an increase in energy prices and rising unemployment and a worsening of serious social and security problems,” he said.

Wasn’t this the same country that Brandon was denouncing as evil and backwards just a few months ago?

Politics and rising oil prices make for strange bedfellows.

Trump’s tenure in the white house WAS a reset with the Kingdom.

Biden’s usurpation of the white house has been a backslide in relations with the Kingdom.

I saw the last few minutes of this. It was pathetic. It was obvious he was reading and he couldn’t do even that right. He was mumbling and slurring his words. What a disaster for us.

How about we pump and export our own oil and ignore saudi arabia? So crazy it might just work!

The United States under President Trump was producing enough oil for the needs of the country. Biden reversed that huge success. Biden’s cabinet members are traitors and should face military tribunal for their high crimes.
