President Biden begins his visit to Saudi Arabia
President Joe Biden arrived in Saudi Arabia

US President Joe Biden arrived in Saudi Arabia on Friday for talks on energy, human rights and security cooperation, in a visit aimed at revitalizing the United States' relationship with a country that Mr. Biden had described as unwanted in the international arena.

Energy and security interests drove the decision by the president and his advisers not to isolate the country, which is a major oil exporter and a major regional power that has recently strengthened ties with Russia and China.

Por këshilltari i sigurisë kombëtare i SHBA-së i minimizoi pritshmëritë për ndonjë rritje të menjëhershme të furnizimit me naftë për të ndihmuar në uljen e kostove të larta të karburantit dhe për të lehtësuar inflacionin në Shtetet e Bashkuara.

Shtëpia e Bardhë tha se zoti Biden do të zhvillojë një takim dypalësh me mbretin saudit Salman bin Abdulaziz në pallatin mbretëror në Xhedah dhe më pas presidenti dhe ekipi i tij do të mbanin një takim pune me Princin e Kurorës Mohammed bin Salman dhe një numër ministrash sauditë.

Mr. Biden will discuss energy security with the leaders of Gulf oil producers and hopes to see more action from OPEC to increase production, but U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters while traveling from Israel to Jeddah that there was unlikely to be any bilateral announcement from the talks.

Mr Biden's trip is being watched closely and will test his ability to restore relations with the powerful crown prince of Saudi Arabia.

The US investigation had concluded that the crown prince had directly approved the 2018 killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, while the crown prince denies having a role in the murder. VOA
