Biden Heads To Saudi Arabia Amid Tension On Oil


(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)

US President Joe Biden will discuss energy supply, human rights, and security cooperation in Saudi Arabia on Friday on a trip designed to reset the U.S. relationship with a country he once pledged to make a 'pariah' on the world stage, Trend reports citing Reuters .

Biden will hold meetings with Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, known as MbS, along with other government officials, a senior Biden administration official told reporters.

The visit will be closely watched for body language and rhetoric.

White House advisers have declined to say whether Biden will shake hands with the prince, the kingdom's de facto ruler.

'The president's going to meet about a dozen leaders and he'll greet them as he usually does,' the administration official said.
