Alleged President Joe Biden went to Saudi Arabia, head bowed, hat in hand, begging like a squeegee guy on Canal Street for a little taste of their oil. But Biden may have forgotten that he recently referred the kingdom as a "pariah" nation after Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman [aka Mohammed bone Sawman] had a journalist killed, then dismembered and stuffed in suitcases for the bad press he wrote about him.
After the meeting ended and Biden emerged, it was obvious he got zilch from MBS, but tried to appear that he did.
After going to Saudi Arabia to beg them for more oil, Joe Biden says it will "begin shortly."“We had a good discussion on ensuring global energy security and adequate oil supplies to support global economic growth,” Biden mush-mouthed. “That will begin shortly. And…I’m doing all I can to increase the supply for the United States of America, which I expect to happen. The Saudis share that urgency and based on our discussions today, I expect we’ll see further steps in the coming weeks.”

If Biden did all he can to increase the supply of oil for the USA, we would be drilling for our oil now and the Keystone Pipeline would be operating.
Biden's response was empty, like what's happening to our oil reserves. He isn't saying anything significant, and while his brain has morphed into oatmeal without raisins, his political brain cell is still functioning enough to evade the issue. He hopes there will be "further steps" and he has his fingers crossed.
Well, he might hope for further steps, but the Saudis stuck a pin in the hope balloon as they made it clear that there were no "further steps," meaning that Biden is like a used adult Depends.
After the event ended, a joint statement was issued and released by the Saudis. It never said anything about oil supply increases. All it said was that Saudi Arabia and the United States “renewed their commitment towards the stability of global energy markets” and that the US “welcomed the kingdom’s commitment to support balance in the global oil market.”
The Saudi reading of the Biden-MbS meeting is more circumspect. Adel Al-Jubeir, a top Saudi diplomat briefing afterward, said that Riyadh will produce more oil **if it sees a shortage** (that’s a long standing Saudi policy). And he indicated Riyadh will work via OPEC+ | #OOTTIt's sad when Americans believe the Saudis over our own so-called president.

Basically, all that Biden was doing was play acting in order to convince us that he was on the case and was willing to walk back everything negative he said about the Saudis after they killed Jamal Khashoggi.
In other words, this was largely just a performance by Biden to convince us he was doing something, and he was willing to throw all his prior words about Saudi Arabia and MBS away in the process. He was even mocked by the fiancee of the late Jamal Kashoggi, but his widow had something to say about that:
Saudi Prince Turki Al-Faisal — who previously served as head of Saudi intelligence and an ambassador to the U.S. — told CNBC that President Biden was a “much-diminished president” compared with when he was inaugurated in January 2021.
“As an example, on energy issues, he came in with a policy to stop completely fossil fuel usage not only in the United States, but worldwide,” Prince Turki said. Now, Biden has a need for fossil fuel, “not only because of the Ukraine war, but also because of U.S. policy itself that shut down pipelines and stopped issuing….discovery of oil on U.S. soil,” Turki said.

Wow! It looks like Joe Biden isn't getting the respect the Democrats used to think he deserves. Let's face it--he's no Donald Trump, and not certainly no Ron DeSantis.
