President Joe Biden feels that the US' relationship with Saudi Arabia needs to be re-evaluated in the wake of the OPEC+ decision last week to decrease oil production, a National Security Council spokesman said .
In an interview with CNN's Brianna Keilar on "New Day," National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications John Kirby said Biden is "willing to work with Congress as we think about what the right relationship with Saudi Arabia needs to be going forward."
"I think the President's been very clear that this is a relationship that that we need to continue to reevaluate, that we need to be willing to revisit. And certainly in light

The Wall Street Journal published an article in the last 40 minutes that states that the Saudis dismissed Biden’s pleadings as 'a political gambit by the Biden administration to avoid bad news ahead of the midterm elections, on which control of Congress hangs. High gas prices and inflation have been central issues in the campaign.'
That will be deemed 'mostly true.'

President Trump was on the precipice of Middle East Peace with Israel and Saudi and other countries signing the Abraham Accords. Now Biden wants to what? punish the Saudi because of his failed energy policy. The last time we pushed Saudi by Clinton not finishing Desert Storm, and occupying way too long, one of their dissidents Osama Bin Laden retaliated. Biden is a threat to the world.

Saudis wanted gold for their oil in 73 after the embargo. We agreed to defend them against all enemies creating the hegemonic petro dollar. That has resulted in a 31 trillion dollar deficit and run away inflation. With Biden and his puppeteers wrecking our energy independence and the US dollar’s world dominance, an economic train wreck is in the offering. Don’t get me wrong, Pubbies are spending like drunk sailors as well ruining the intrinsic value of the dollar as well. Plan accordingly fellow patriots.

BTW, the Journal's article concluded with the administration using the replenishment of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as an enticement to the Saudis if Brent crude fell to $75.00/barrel, putting a floor on oil prices.
The administration denied any domestic political consideration.

The face of Congress will change after the November elections. And I hope that the first order of business will be to cancel the college loan bailouts!!

We already have very few friends in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia is the "friend" that you don't totally trust, but need to help keep all of the others in line. Biden seems willing to destroy a positive relationship because his policies have caused an American energy crisis and financial disaster and he has chosen the Saudi's and OPEC as his latest scapegoats. Peace in the Middle East could be threatened because Biden and the Democrats are having a temper tantrum over another of their failed policies and the Saudi's / OPEC's unwillingness to bend to their demands (if only the Republicans had their backbone!).

Biden has done everything that should make him the Saudi's best friend. Price for oil went from almost nothing under Trump to over $100 under Biden but still the Saudi relationship is bad. Why is that? Could it be Biden's sucking up to Iran?

International relations were just fine under the Bad Orange Man, yet TV-watching liberals claimed to live in fear over nuclear weapons heading our way because of his mean rhetoric. Meanwhile, the crooked nasty warmonger with the pantload has international relations at a new low with hostilities threatening in several places, and even the propaganda media is making noises about how we should prepare to be wiped out. And liberal voters are quiet as can be about their choices.

Don't bother, the Saudis already have made up their minds.
