(Tea Party PAC) – While Joe Biden was campaigning to become president from his basement, he routinely slammed President Trump for not knowing what he was doing internationally. Ironically, when Trump was in office, there was unprecedented peace around the world and America’s economy was thriving.

We have to wonder if Joe Biden is eating those words now that he’s made an absolute mess of world affairs and plunged the US economy right into the toilet along with it.

As if things for the Biden regime couldn’t get any worse, now they’ve upset Saudi Arabia and the relationship with the powerful, oil-rich Arab Kingdom is damaged, according to the Wall Street Journal.

What great timing for Biden to anger the Saudis. It isn’t like America is experiencing an oil crisis and skyrocketing gas prices or anything.

The global market is in complete chaos and there’s literally one person to thank. Hint: it’s NOT President Trump.

Before Joe Biden even usurped the White House he was putting himself at odds with Saudi Arabia, constantly condemning them for the death of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.

The Western Journal reports, “Khashoggi was a Saudi Arabian journalist who left the country as a dissident, but in 2018 was assassinated in the Saudi consulate at Istanbul, allegedly at the direction of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia.”

In 2019, Biden insisted the powerful Saudi Arabia kingdom should be treated as a pariah due to human rights issues like Khashoggi’s death. (You’ll never hear him say that about China.)

Then, last summer, Biden told Americans that it was Saudi Arabia who was responsible for the rising gas prices because of low Saudi oil output. The one thing Joe Biden excels at as “president” is passing the buck.

There has not been any improvement on the relationship between Biden and the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud and Biden has not made any effort to meet with the Saudi ruler since taking over the White House.

Last fall, Biden did, however, send his national security adviser Jake Sullivan to meet with bin Salman to discuss oil production and supply in the hopes of striking a deal to increase production in order to counter rising prices of oil and gas.

Unfortunately, after the death of Khashoggi was once again brought up, the meeting was abruptly ended and the prince shouted at Sullivan and told him the US could forget about making any deals with Saudi Arabia.

Now, with the Russia-Ukraine situation hurting the global oil economy, the US finds itself in a really weak position. Saudi Arabia has aligned itself with Russian interests.

The Western Journal reports:

Once the Russia-Ukraine war began, the Biden administration began eyeing Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, hoping to convince them to ramp up oil production, which would undercut the money Russia makes off of its own oil exports and also drive down the rising prices of oil and gas, CNN reported.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE are the most powerful members of OPEC, the bloc of 13 countries that together control 40 percent of global oil production, making them crucial in the global oil game.

Saudi Arabia did not do as Biden requested and has promoted its own interests above the West’s, which could be dangerous for the U.S. and also keeps gas prices high for Americans.

“The risk for the U.S. is that Riyadh will align more closely with China and Russia, or at least remain neutral on issues of vital interest to Washington, as it has on Ukraine, Saudi officials said,” according to the Wall Street Journal.

Bin Salman has made it clear he has no desire to work with the US. He told The Atlantic, however, that he does value the relationship with the U.S. and he is “trying to do my best.”

“If his best is not good enough for Joe Biden, [bin Salman] said, then the consequences of running a moralistic foreign policy would be the president’s to discover,” The Atlantic reported. Bin Salman also said that if the Biden regime misunderstands him, “Simply, I do not care.”

“It’s up to him to think about the interests of America,” the prince added.

Biden has since stopped begging Saudi Arabia to produce more oil and instead only asks that they don’t do anything that will hurt US efforts in Ukraine.

No one could possibly hurt US interests as bad as Joe Biden himself.
