man, the crime prince and de facto leader biden had refused to speak to him after official g was killed in a saudi consulate in 2018. u. s. intelligence says the crime prince approved the killing a fist ma'am, that has set off a storm of criticism. us pasadena joe biden held talks with saudi crown. prince mom had been sell man, a man, he once promised to make a pariah over the murder of us. best john list jamal kush oak g kashodi. his fiance reacted to the meeting with a tweet. seeing the blood of the princess next victim is on biden's hands. the u. s. president has countered the criticism. thank you for being here. respect to the murder of cr shogi, i rated at the top of the meeting, making it clear what i thought of it in time. and when i think of it now, he basically said that here he was not personally responsible for it. i finally

came, i was, he said he was not personally responsible for it and he took action against those who were responsible, human rights groups waddy, that this is far from enough. now, saudi arabia has never been a rights respecting country if there were been a country where you could speak freely. but what we've seen in the past 5 years is a total shut down of the space for any public criticism or any hint that you might disagree with the authorities. the leaders discussions ranged from regional security to clean energy initiatives, but saudi oil is being seen as the driving factor here, especially if it can replace russian supplies on the global market. the main reason for preston biden's visit to saudi arabia is to attend the gathering of leaders of 9 countries from the gulf cooperation council. but the meeting that was set to draw the more scrutiny has already taken place. well,

i'm joined now by chance here bianco, a visiting fellow at the european council on foreign relations based here in berlin arch into and welcome to d. w. so president biden says he believes the saudi crown prince was responsible for the murder of jamal her trogie. yet we saw those images of him fist bumping him . so what does this actually tell us about the relationship between the us and saudi arabia? well did relationship between the 2 countries is rather strained at the moment. and the fact that the u. s. president has decided to make the crown prince of prya because of the killing of general kasha g. is one of the reasons why are the reasons include the fact that the u. s. has been taking steps back from its traditional role is a security guarantor for saudi arabia and for regional security. more largely speaking. i think, you know, this meeting is clearly a, it is a clear indication that that strategy hm. but failed. unfortunately,

the geopolitical realities of needing to find the energy security and the security of energy prices as the prevail, the over human rights considerations. since you just mentioned that their energy, now the u. s. ties with saudi arabia have essentially been centered on oil. so what is president biden hoping to achieve on the front? so i'm since russian, i invaded ukraine and we have introduced sanctions on russian energy. we basically have had at 10000000 borrow a day, large hole in the market. and that is, broach energy prices being out of control as we know. so watts, their various western leaders, including us, president biden, but also borders. johnson, u. k. former prime minister and president, manuel mcconnell have done to sort of ease that type of supply is asking saudi

arabia to pump more oil in order to balance that supply and demand question. and the saudis, the so far have refused to, and since february they have refused all calls in these ends. so what the president biden hopes to achieve is that on the 3rd of august, when saudi arabia meets with the other old producers, including russia, they will go. and then they will push themselves and other producers to pump more oil at the end of august, thereby easing the situation from the 1st of september, cynthia bianco, a visiting fellow at the european council on foreign relations. thank you. thank you very much. here's a quick look at some more stories making news around the world. these ready army has released a video of an air strike on what it says was a hamas weapons producing site in the gaza strip. the military said a responded to rockets fired from the territory toward southern israel. that happened on the day you as president joe biden met palestinian leader mahmoud abbas
