Sen. Cruz: ‘Biden is Groveling to the Saudis … It’s a Mess’ Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) said President Joe Biden is "groveling to the Saudis" today because of the anti-energy "mess" his administration has produced. But he added that it is “perfectly appropriate” for the president to discuss the issue with the Saudis.
On Thursday, CNS News asked the senator, “Is it appropriate for President Biden to travel to Saudi Arabia and meet with Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman?”
Cruz replied: “Saudi Arabia is an important ally. Part of the reason that Biden is having to travel there is that for the last year and a half, he’s bent over backwards to alienate that ally, which has not been in America’s national security interests.”
“Now, Biden is groveling to the Saudis, asking them to produce more oil, after Biden has spent a year and a half hammering U.S. oil and gas production,” said Cruz. “So, it’s a mess, but it’s perfectly appropriate for the president to have a conversation with the Saudis.”
Biden is expected to meet with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) today, July 15, in a trip many suspect is to secure more oil because domestic gasoline prices are very high. According to U.S. intelligence reports and other investigations, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) approved a plan to kill Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. The writer was murdered and dismembered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018.
When campaigning in 2020, Biden said, “I guarantee you, we’re going to end fossil fuels.”..............
