it's definitely so that saudi arabia has arabia actually heard it, particularly in the eyes of strategic a close has close ties with with with the u s. still there very much dependent on weapons deliveries and their contracts long running contracts. i mean there is no way that saudi arabia could say we we don't want to have anything to do with us any longer or vice versa. so it's more about strategic demonstrate a demonstration of a strategic move the u. s. is making here they want to show to iran to russia. um we are still in we are still having a leverage here um the it was also a sign that the times when uh saudi arabia was isolated because of the murder of john g. that this this chapter is closed now so um so but this has a price and the price is um showing showing that that this close cooperation is still in place and it's a deal. i mean they also get quite quite a leeway now to work is still in place and it's a deal. i mean on their issues with iran at the same time, saudi arabia is interested and america is interested to keep the ceasefire in yemen and and all this is it's a packa

arabia had saudi journalist antecedent jamal co shogi murdered. now the turn around, let me state clearly. united states is going to remain active, engage partner in the middle east. but rather than concrete results, the u. s. president was only given a vague promise by saudi arabia to increase oil production in the future. significantly more harmonious, at least outwardly, was the tripartite meeting of russia, iran and turkey in tehran. it's main focus was syria, where all 3 countries are engaged in war. also discussed on the sidelines a possible iranian drone delivery to russia and how to handle sanctions for president put in the meeting, was above all a message to you as president biden and the west. russia is also engaged in this region potent or biden, who has the upper hand and the middle east. tyson, what would you say to that question in the face of the u. s. chaotic departure from afghanistan in the face of what is often perceived as us indifference in the face of the fighting and syria. does anybody really believe biden's prob says to re

you as president joe biden has joined a summit and saudi arabia biden met saudi arabia's crown prince. muhammad been summoned, raising the issue on the murder of dissident journalist, jamal castro, ve the to have had frosty ties since bite and bow to make the kingdom a pariah over the killing hole. re earliest, dw washington correspondent carolina shamore. y biden. changed his mind to engage with the crown prince. what president biden himself said that this trip to the middle east is mainly about promoting us interests, especially in economic terms, but also security. so what we're seeing here is a huge you turn in biden's foreign policy and it's a real re calibration of his relationship to saudi arabia. so as we saw this morning during the gcc summit or bite and it's trying to do here is to reset the relationship to saudi arabia until the middle east. he wants to see if the u. s. and saudi arabia can work together in a different issues, like for example, energy, but also climate infrastructure. and for security, of course, the question remains, how do dates start over, especially aft

he now, prior to his visit to saudi arabia, the u. s. the security adviser said that they were aiming for they to be no vacuum in the middle east for russia and china to take over. at the same time, of course, a lot of the concern of biden's visit has been creating an axis against iran, and particularly palestinian leaders and the palestinians street were aware of this with a criticism that prior to going to saudi arabia biden wasn't, is role. and in the palestinian areas for 3 days that he found only 3 to visit the palestinian city of bessie and meet with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas. so a lot of the focus of the visit here in israel, prior to going to saudi arabia 40 american president, was consolidating this axis against the man. and no doubt he's going to focus on this during his trip in saudi arabia as well. policy a r t to we sent him live. now the current krakowski retired us for through tenant colonel town and welcome to our international. now this trip is a bit of a tight rope for joe biden, is in a way, has to sort o

yes , saudi arabia is not important in itself.nited states needs to fight with russia with china but now we have to conduct a dialogue with many countries. and saudi arabia of them yes , uh, this suggests that there are certain patterns of american foreign policy that almost never end or disappear, including, uh, the arrogance of alexandru vyacheslavovich do you think biden will be able to improve us relations with saudi arabia as a result of this visit, and most importantly, will it be possible to convince saudi arabia to sharply increase oil production, export oil for world fish. well , as the red army soldier sukhov from the white sun of the desert would say, this is hardly a for two things. uh, the first saudi arabia realized how much this interdependence of the united states is a threat and risk for them, because on the one hand, when the americans unleashed a war with flanged oil against saudi arabia, saudi arabia received a budget deficit of $ 200 billion, yes, and the saudis understand what will happen if they start again

to make saudi arabia a "pariah."lso talk of oil, and whether saudi arabia would produce more, possibly easing gas prices. last night, correspondent nick schifrin sat down with adel al-jubeir, the saudi minister of state for foreign affairs. nick: do you believe that these meetings mean that president biden has decided not to make saudi arabia a pariah? mr. al-jubeir: i believe that that quote was during the campaign, and the campaign is what i call the funny season. lots of things happen, but things, people have a different perspective they're in office and have access to intelligence and information. and they look at the vastness of the relationship, so it's a critically important relationship and it's important that we have a continue the tradition of personal contact between the leadership of our two countries. nick: one of the points of contention that president biden has pointed out is human rights. and tonight he specifically said that he brought up jamal khashoggi's death to the crown prince. the president sai

he brought "the situation room" to saudi arabia. >>> happening now. president biden speaks out about his critical talks here in saudi arabia. he says he brought up the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi with the crown prince who the cia blames for ordering the killing. i'll talk to a top saudi diplomat who was inside the room with the prince and the president. >>> the january 6 select committee seeks answers about why the u.s. secret service erased texts from the day of the riot and the day before. we're going to tell you what they learned from the department of homeland security top watchdog. >>> want to welcome the viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." we're live here in jetta, saudi arabia, overlooking the red sea covering talks between president biden and saudi leaders. president biden revealing a short time ago he did confront the saudi crown prince about the murder of jamal khashoggi. senior white house correspondent phil mattingly is here with us in jeddah. >> no question. loo

saudi arabia. there is no q and a scheduled about the mbs sit-down. just a quick opportunity to take some photos and video. that's it. president biden's strategy seems to be to kill them with kindness and praising saudi leaders profusely for allowing flights to land here to take off from israel for the first time ever. he said in a statement as we mark this important moment saudi arabia's decision with help build momentum toward's israel's further integration into the region including with saudi arabia. i will do all i can through direct diplomacy and leader to leader engagement to keep advancing this groundbreaking process. aboard air force one today the national security advisor told reporters president biden plans to raise issues of human rights with the saudis but the president strongly suggested yesterday in israel he is not going to specifically mention the murder of "washington post" jamal khashoggi, which u.s. intel officials have concluded was ordered by mbs. that's even though the preside

after israel, biden will go to saudi arabia, despite his campaign pledge to make saudi arabia a pariah for the state-sponsored killing of "the washington post" columnist jamal khashoggi. we will go to sarah ah whitson with dawn. stay with us. ♪♪ [music break] amy: "if i could go back in time" by dam and amal murkus. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman with nermeen shaikh. on friday, president biden will continue -- he will be making his first trip to the middle east of his administration as he goes to saudi arabia for talks with saudi officials and to attend a summit of gulf lies. he is the first u.s. president to fly directly from israel to the saudi port city ojeddah and pected ask bin salman to pump more oil. the trip comes despite biden's pledge during e debate in 2019 to make saudi arabia a pariah for the state-sponsored killing of "washington post" columnist jamal khashoggi. >> president trump has not published senior saudi leaders. would you? >> yes. a set at the time khashoggi was murdered and dismembered and i believe in the orde

and that same is true for saudi arabia.f narrative about human rights, conditionalities but , when it comes to actually delivering on it, there is a continuation of the status quo. that is very, very puzzling for for both sides of the divide in the middle east. iran doesn't know what to expect. the saudis don't know what to expect. uae don't know what to expect . israel doesn't know what to expect. that sort of creates this ambiguity and a state of leaderless chaos in the region, which other people have been willing to failed, other nations have been willing to fill. iran was able to act on as as they see fit. uae is acting as they see fit. russia and china are moving in where the americans have , withdrawn. the problem is what does america actually want? natasya: well, i am interested in how the u.s. politics actually relates to the region and how regional leaders are viewing the u.s., because i see biden's approval rating at home is just 33%, and a majority of democratic voters are saying that he should not be on the ball

as president joe biden has arrived in the saudi arabia on a highly anticipated but controversial visit is due to attend the summit of arab leaders. but his visit is a delicate dance. c bumped fists with ma, had been summoned that saudi arabia, crown prince and defacto leader by not refused to speak to the prince until now, accusing him of serious human rights abuses. bach biden needs the saudi's help to bring down oil prices and is now looking to once again, once again repair relations. this with us diplomacy in saudi arabia not long ago, the former president, donald trump performing a sword, dance, trump and ministration embraced the country and its crown prince mohammed been selma known as m b. yes. that was despite the country's widespread human rights abuses and the murder of dissident journalist jamal cas shoji at the saudi consulate in istanbul. multiple investigations said the order to kalika, so she must have come from the top from been some on himself. many world leaders condemned m b s helping in a more new mobile service. that puts president joe biden in a tough spot when he

not really about going to saudi arabia. this is actually going to meet the g, c, c states, d, c, c plus this is about somehow is real. and you know, trying to make peace with israel and arab nations, i think that left a bitter taste in the side of the ruling elite mouse. and i, and i think you know, that is precisely why this falling at the elite level, i will take some time now. don't get clearly a little while. ok declared the white house new though would be a political cost to this meeting. but what was the alternative? well, they could have, for example, made an arrangement with venezuela to bring venezuela oil back on. or if they had been acting no more quickly last year to really starting to go, she ation with the wrong one. could imagine bringing iranian oil on, you know, and the other is to recognize the amount of oil they are likely to get over the time frame. they're likely to get from saudi arabia. the emeralds. it's not clear to me is going to have a major impact on oil prices. the problem for the president is t

russia is not going to help saudi arabia. china is not going to patrol the persian gulf or have troops deployed, only the united states is going to do that for them. and, i think that's a card that we need to play. we should be willing, look, the key question for me here is, does the united states jump through hoops to repair our relationship with saudi arabia or should it be on saudi arabia to repair their relationship with the united states? i think it should be the latter . we have a lot of cards, we should play them, and i hope, in a way, i hope i'm wrong and i hope the president gets these results from this trip if so, i will give him full credit, but it has to be about results, not about meetings. >> congressman, thank you so much for your time, we appreciate it. we will continue to watch the meeting and any new developments that come from the meeting, in the meantime, a member of the president's own party, just dealt a serious blow to the biden agenda or, did he? we are on the hill, next. lookok what i brought! liberty

the us ties to saudi arabia have always centered on oil. what is biden hoping to achieve on that front? opinions are quite invited on this and most experts agree that saudi arabia might indeed start producing more oil. however, senior diplomat from saudi arabia, just as said during an interview a few minutes ago. that's, are you ready? i will not start producing more. and without consulting the opec plus countries, and that sort of urea seeks to ensure market's ability that that is all they want the group opec plaza. they have a meeting on the 3rd of august, and it's still what president biden said after the meeting with the prince. regarding the increasing m o protection was, let's look and see what happens in a couple of weeks. so probably we're going to have to wait for that meeting. okay, so we wait a couple of weeks said that the white house is citing. this trip is evidence of warming ties between israel and saudi arabia. what can you tell us about the president biden said to add to day that saudi arabia's decision to allow an israeli

saudi arabia has become frances. first, customer for weapons in arms and it's, it's an economical situation. so standards don't have units and indication where whatever, what, whatever, it's all about the business and they say, and the only reason why there has been such an important i would say attention brought by a manual maximum to this meeting is because france needs energy. france wants to continue to so petrol and if there is a deal that can be brokered in the following days, weeks following this, that this meeting on energy or on, on, on weapons then within the mental macros. happy. and he couldn't care this, which political opponent is tortured, killed there for. if you can build a church, if you are attacked or criticized or more killed because every political opinion, you couldn't care this. what he wants is to continue exporting to saudi arabia and make a buck out of out of this and, and try to get some, some alternatives to importing energy because they did what can, europe is in a very bad situation loo

william: nick schifrin joins me now from saudi arabia.eard how president biden characterized his discussions with the crown prince about the murder of jamaal khashoggi. what have officials been telling you about this? nick: a few minutes ago i interviewed the minister of state for foreign affairs, effectively the deputy foreign minister and a longtime leader in saudi circles. he said that is not what happened. that is not what he saw at or heard. he said president biden did bring up jamaal khashoggi but it was not in the same language. it was certainly not as confrontational as president biden claimed. the two sides clearly are still disagreeing over human rights and the bottom line from the saudi perspective is yes, president biden did push mbs on this and mbs said it was not me and we've taken steps to tackle the people who mbs claims acted in a rogue fashion. the u.s. believes that mbs approved the murder. william: one of the main reasons president biden is in saudi arabia is to pressure the kingdom to ramp up oil production, a sensibl

from israel to saudi arabia. of course, earlier today saudi arabia announced they will be opening up flights. commercial flights. they will let commercial flights fly over their airspace. irspace. >> as we see the president being welcomed and being received in saudi arabia, officials and the secretary of state behind him. i want to bring in democratic congresswoman of texas who is with us this morning. i thank you for being with us. i'm curious as to your thoughts as we see the president arriving to saudi arabia, an important trip for the president. one that we were saying keir simmons is not devoid of controversy. >> hi, good morning, jose. how are you? >> very well. the president is in this middle east trip. as we saw, he spent days in israel and now getting to saudi arabia. i was just thinking, congresswoman, the president says he is going to saudi arabia to meet with other middle eastern leaders as well as the king and the crown prince , but a lot of this has to do with domestic politics as well. i mean, gas

and saudi arabia is concerned, saudi arabia agreeing to do what the u.s. to see develop more oil right now to reduce the cost of gasoline in the united states and to fully establish diplomatic relations with israel? >> i think the president will make those cases in private and there will be an effort to do that, however, the saudis don't have a lot of room to expand their production given the limited supply levels that they can go to. but the most -- more important piece and you mentioned t wolf, earlier, or david mentioned it, is the fact that opec is an important player here and saudi of course is a critical player in opec. this is a long-range strategy for the president to get -- to get them to help with opec decisions about supply in the future and what role russia plays with opec as one of the plus countries. >> how significant is it, ambassador, that the saudis apparently have agreed, i think it's pretty significant, to allow israeli planes to fly over saudi air space if flights are going from israel to india or to the far east, they can now fly over

he began to negotiate with iran , uh, began to speak in saudi arabia saudi arabia, which before thatden officially announced that he does not support the operation in yemen, he, accordingly, demanded to withdraw the united arab emirates from there informally higher, but practically controls the desks. because of this, respectively. alma began to fail, by the way, the physical mohammed bin salman he is mohammed but you call him whatever you want. i call it that because , well, it's wrong in society not to call quality after shifts. after the change, respectively , the inheritance system. everyone will now have one dmitry and i will forget mohammed they remember me like that, i didn’t interrupt you, remember, i i think i'm listening, i'm surprised i finally said, now it's not fundamentally the name of the three letters. here the meaning is the following meaning is that he did not defeat you during all this time is not grounded. and this was a big problem for him, respectively, during the last year of the year before last, when our oil was negative paper precisely thanks to the guardian

he said the trip to saudi arabia because of those human rights concerns when it comes to saudi arabia. of course, joe biden had referred to saudi arabia and saudi crown prince. muhammad, been summoned as a pariah. this is obviously a 180 turn on that statement at now going to try and, and i wouldn't say cozy out, but, you know, try and smooth over some of the tensions and sorry, excuse me. i'm trying to do it. yeah. sorry. is that what we're looking at? let me, jerry hang on a you a sorry been joe biden. having landed in israel, the beginning of a 4 days of talks with israelis, palestinians, and saudis, his trip to saudi arabia, being a 1st for an american president. what i'd like to know rebecca, is if you can fill us in on how this is all being looked at back at home for abide . how do americans view this tree? it can, can you fill us in there? i'm not very popular back at home. i've been around a recent poll by the washington post suggested around 25 percent only, only 25 percent of people in the us actually really support this trip. so it's not being seen as a very popular move. b

because of course, saudi arabia does not recognize israel. earlier on friday, the saudi government announced that was opening, it's a space to israeli pain. so that is a 1st, the american president ahead of his visit did say that its purpose was to reset relationships between america and saudi arabia. but as you correctly mentioned, it wasn't so long ago that he referred to saudi arabia as a provider estate falling. the 2018 killing of the saudi journalist jamal kashodi. now the americans have always made out that they are the bastion of human rights, that they are the policeman of the world if you like. and it was this with this in mind that joe biden had these harsh mot remarks to make about saudi arabia not such a long time ago. and i would make it very clear, we were not going to sell more weapons to them. we were going to make them pay the price, in fact, make them a pariah, that they are. there is very little social, redeeming value in the present government of saudi arabia, wilson, making them a pariah. we now see joe biden reaching ou

so he went to saudi arabia. and the question is, is he, while he's there signaling his ongoing profound concern about the saudi crown princess? abysmal, human rights record. and so far he is utterly failed. you know, the fist pomp was supposed to be short of a handshake. but you know, that's not enough. that's not a statement of human rights principles. i'm. he then met with the crown prince alone and came out and recounted what had happened. and it was a really a poor performance to be honest with you on your, he said, are we discussed human rights and political reform, which are, you know, i'm reading was statements. the saudi, people have no idea what specific abuses, bye and talked about. they had an exchange about the jamal kashodi murder, you know, biden said, you mohammed ben, salmon ordered it, and b, i said, no, i didn't. they said, well, we disagree move on basically. and, and then, you know, buying had this almost incoherent statement where he said, you know, dealing with saudi critics abroad is a vio

saudi arabia will invest in new u.s.y to develop and secure reliable 5g and 6 g networks here and in the future in developing countries to coordinate with a partnership for global infrastructure and investment that i put together at the g7. this new technology solution for 5g called open ran will out compete other platforms including china. saudi arabia will partner on a far reaching clean energy initiative focused on green hydrogen, solar, carbon capture, nuclear and other projects to accelerate the world's clean energy transition and to help the u.s. clean energy industry set global standards. fifth, we had a good discussion on ensuring global energy security and adequate oil supplies to support global economic growth. that will begin shortly. and i am doing all i can to increase the supply for the united states of america which i expect to happen. the saudi shared that urgency and based on our discussions today i expect we will see further steps in the coming weeks. finally human rights and the need for reform. as alw
