President Biden delivered remarks at the Gulf Cooperation Council on the final leg of a four-day Middle East tour.
President Joe Biden, speaking at a summit of Arab leaders, said Saturday that the United States "will not walk away" from the Middle East as he tries to ensure stability in a volatile corner of the globe and boost the worldwide flow of oil to reverse rising gas prices.
His remarks, delivered at the Gulf Cooperation Council on the final leg of a four-day Middle East tour, came amid concerns about Iran's nuclear ambitions and support for militants in the region.
"We will not walk away and leave a vacuum to be filled by China, Russia or Iran," President Biden said. "We will seek to build on this moment with active, principled, American leadership."
