President Joe Biden will meet with Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman sparking criticism from inside his own Democrat party as he looks to reset Middle East relations following a spike in oil prices driven by Russia’s war in Ukraine.
The decision to strengthen ties with the Saudi leader has raised eyebrows after he was implicated in the brutal assassination of US-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi who is believed to have been dismembered inside a consulate in Istanbul. His remains have never been found.
