WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden confirmed on Tuesday that he will visit Saudi Arabia next month for talks with its leaders, a dramatic change in his stance on the kingdom that he pledged to make a “pariah” as a Democratic candidate for the White House.
With the visit at the tail end of a July 13-16 Middle East trip that includes stops in Israel and the West Bank, Biden is edging off his adversarial stance against on the Saudis’ human rights record.
He’s looking to reset the relationship at a time when the U.S. could use help from the oil-rich kingdom to alleviate soaring prices at the pump for motorists at home and around the globe.
The stop in Saudi Arabia will include talks with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto leader of the kingdom, according to White House and Saudi officials.
U.S. intelligence officials have determined Prince Mohammed likely ordered the 2018 killing and dismemberment of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

“When it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over,” Biden said during a press conference in Japan following his meeting with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
Before accepting the advice to visit Saudi Arabia and "ask" for lower petroleum prices, President Biden said the high fuel prices were by design, and would be painful only for a little while, while his administration transitioned Americans to "CLEAN" energy.
Why is lithium extraction bad for the environment? Any type of resource extraction is harmful to the planet. This is because removing these raw materials can result in soil degradation, water shortages, biodiversity loss, damage to ecosystem functions and an increase in global warming.

IF Biden does make a deal, it will be a deal with the devil. The Crown Prince will make sure that any deal sticks it to Biden and that Saudi Arabia reaps great benefits.
I hope the voters are paying attention!

The Keystone pipeline is alive and well, and still pumping ~860,000 barrels of oil a day from Canada for us to export. We don't use that oil for gasoline.
