"President Biden strongly affirmed the United States’ continued commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia’s security and territorial defense," according to a joint declaration after Biden's conference with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz and crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The declaration avowed US promise to let Riyadh "obtain necessary capabilities to defend its people and territory against external threats."

In line with the declaration, the two nations underlined "the importance of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon."
