👉U.S. President Joe Biden on Saturday departed Saudi Arabia, ending a trip that was aimed at repairing the longstanding relationship between the two countries to address rising gas prices and foster stability in the volatile region.

Earlier, Biden attended a summit of Gulf leaders, as well as leaders from Iraq, Egypt and Jordan, where he said he was "clear-eyed" about challenges in the Middle East but saw many areas where the US could help drive positive outcomes.

Biden’s attendance at the Gulf Cooperation Council summit followed his Friday meeting with Prince Mohammed, the heir to the throne currently held by his father, King Salman.

The 79-year-old president had initially shunned the 36-year-old royal over human rights abuses, particularly the killing of U.S.-based writer Jamal Khashoggi, which U.S. intelligence officials believe was likely approved by the crown prince.(AP)

So why is Joe asking Saudi Arabia for oil when Saudi Arabia is buying oil from Russia? Do your homework.

This was so sad that USA President was not welcomed appropriately post landing in KSA. No matter what, they should not be having any sort of revenge nature. All required protocols must have been given as end of the day, he was a VIP guest and representing a vast majority of a powerful nation in the world countries. Ethics must always be followed in diplomatic relations.
