Saudi Crown Prince shouted at Biden’s Envoy
Daily Mail By Emily GOODIN, 21 April 2022
The world has changed: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman shouted at Biden’s NSA Jake Sullivan when he started threatening about Jamal Khashoggi when they met in September (2021). It arose in response when Mohammed bin Salman was not obliging the US’s national security adviser pressing the Saudi by pumping more oil to help the US out with rising prices.
The staggering decline of US-Saudi relations under the Biden administration was outlined in a Wall Street Journal report that details actions the president’s fury with the de facto ruler of the kingdom and the prince’s infuriated response.
Sullivan brought up Khashoggi, the Washington Post columnist who was murdered in 2018 in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
MSB shouted at Sullivan in return and told him that he never wanted to speak of the matter again.
The White House is denying the story. The quick decline of American soft power is embarrassing. “Most of this story is categorically false, including both the basic facts and the overall premise,’ said Adrienne Watson, National Security Council spokesperson.
Relations have worsened since Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine. The US has repeatedly pushed the Saudis to pump more oil to help bring down gas prices but Saudi has refused, which is more in line with Moscow’s interests.
Saudi Arabia Prince Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud has spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin twice since Putin invaded Moscow but had refused to take Biden’s call in March but held one with Putin.
