President Biden Lands In Saudi Arabia To Meet With King, Crown Prince
Newsy
President Biden is working to bridge a rift between the U.S. and the oil-rich kingdom. It's his first meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
A crucial meeting to repair one of the world's most important diplomatic relationships began with a fist bump Friday as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman welcomed U.S. President Joe Biden at a royal palace.
The first encounter, captured by Saudi television, occurred as President Biden stepped out of his presidential limousine in Jeddah for a visit that is intended to reset their countries' longstanding partnership.
There was little evidence of any warmth between the leaders, and none of the backslapping or smiles that President Biden or the crown prince usually display when greeting other leaders.
