U.S. President Joe Biden said he brought up the murder of Jamal Khashoggi in his meeting Friday with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, rejecting the idea that he was ignoring the kingdom’s human rights abuses as he tries to reset a critical diplomatic relationship.
“I said, very straightforwardly, for an American president to be silent on an issue of human rights is inconsistent with who we are and who I am,” Biden said. “I’ll always stand up for our values.”
U.S. intelligence believes that the crown prince likely approved the killing of Khashoggi, a U.S.-based writer, four years ago. Biden said Prince Mohammed claimed that he was “not personally responsible” for the death. “I indicated I thought he was,” the president said in reply.
Answering a reporter’s question about Khashoggi’s death and the criticism he faced for sharing a fist bump with the crown prince upon their meeting earlier that day, Biden said “God love you. What a silly question. How could I possibly be sure of any of that? I just made it clear if anything occurs like that again they’ll get that response and much more.”
It was the first meeting between the two leaders and their relationship could reshape security partnerships in the Middle East and the flow of oil worldwide.

Is this another diaper commercial? Cause someone’s full of it!
It's almost as if they never cared about Kushogi being assassinated and only wanted to use it to score a political point.
I wonder if he raised any concern about the Palestinian/ American journalist who was murdered by the Israeli forces, by an American made bullet. Hell no, he was scared shitless.
well well well, the media shilling for the murderous regime in Saudi, while condemning Russia.
I wouldn’t trust him to pass a drivers test
If he needs glasses, he should get a pair. It won't make him look any weaker than he already is.
He got a fist bump and not a handshake because the Saudi prince has no respect for him.
we can almost see Biden licking feet of the Prince
I mean, I don't agree with the guys politics or think he's a good president but it seems to me there isn't much they could be doing in regards to the Khashoggi incident given the need to work with the prince going forward.
Fist bumping a murderer, how classy.
I swear America has no morals, funny how everyone is against Russia in their illegal war but no one called America when they were slaughtering 370,000 in a sense of millions in the Middle East, where is there a war trials? Any of them being held accountable for the atrocities they committed in the Middle East during their illegal operation in wars? All war criminals need to be brought to justice not just the ones America doesn’t like
He’s a disgrace!
Lol. Let's go Brandon! Is this guy still alive? When is trump coming back? Him or de santis. The country is garbage and a joke. Good job brandon.
Global are lying Propagandists.
Joe Biden making Saudi Arabia great again
And then they say why do they hate us? US which is preaching about human rights and democracy is what's keeping killers like MBS in power against the will of the people
Joe is so good. Very nice deal for US to include all civilian carriers and some cargo to and from Israel.
Biden off Begging the Saudis for Oil because of the leftist fossil fuel agenda what a loser he is
Les gendarmes du monde sont des menteurs, ils ont du sang dans leurs depuis ces 70 dernières années partout dans le monde avec ses droits de l'homme à eux, c'est à dire de tuer ou de faire les coups d'états dans les pays tiers.
Americans are in no position to speak about human rights. How can Americans criticise Saudi for assasinating 1 man, when Americans wiped out entire villages with drone strikes in Afghanistan?
Illegentment adminnastion
Fist bumping murderers. Build Back Better is really moving forward.
No more human rights？😅 American Value ？Begs Saudi Crown Prince for petroleum ?
WASHINGTON: The fiancee of Jamal Khashoggi said that President Joe Biden had enabled Saudi Arabia’s crown prince to take more victims after the US leader met and fist-bumped the man accused of ordering the journalist’s murder.
In the form of what she imagined as a tweet by Khashoggi, Hatice Cengiz wrote to Biden, “Is this the accountability you promised for my murder? The blood of MBS’s next victim is on your hands.”.
Biden Once Vowing To Make Saudi Arabia A 'Pariah' State.
Biden angrily rejected a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman because he thought his presidency should 'stand for something'
2021-2-28 Biden ："I wouldn't go. I wouldn't shake his hand. This is someone who butchered an American resident, cut him up into pieces and in the most terrible and premeditated way,"
Never ask women her age
Neve ask men his salary
Never ask USA about its hypocrisy…
July 15, Biden still fail after knee down.😅
Biden exits negotiations without a deal. Saudi Arabia: Oil production is determined by the market..
Time to beg the "Pariah" murderer for oil. Man, Brandon can't sink any lower. What a mess. 😔
Biden : Do you happen to know Khashoggi?
Saudi Prince: Yes, I do. What's up?
Biden : Ah, Good.
Saudi Prince : And?
Biden : The oil, the oil you have, … which I really care …. is more democratic than Russian's…. I can certify it as democratic oil.
Saudi Prince: Thank you.
Biden to Media: I did raised the question to Saudi pariah about Khashoggi.
Oh look it is an upgrade from Obama literally bowing down to them.
Vegetable Lasagna say: "Yo yo yo – how it hangin' boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii?"
¿NUNCA VA A PAGAR TVE POR SUS CIENTOS DE MILES ASESINADOS?.
People get real! What do you expect Biden to do? Send bombers on Saudi Arabia? Send a drone to blow up the Prince? Or, put the Prince in Jail? They got the USA by the balls. There's only one way: get rid of the Blood Oil and go for the renewable energies. You all see how you'll put all those terrorists on their knees. Wake -up and get real!
Obama's words.
Literally, Saudis made Biden a pariah as he is 🤣
The bipartisan NOPEC bill would change U.S. antitrust law to revoke the sovereign immunity that has long protected OPEC and its national oil companies from lawsuits.
If signed into law, the U.S. attorney general would gain the ability to sue the oil cartel or its members, such as Saudi Arabia, in federal court. Other producers like Russia, which works with OPEC in wider group known as OPEC+ to withhold output, could also be sued..
Biden and he’s stupid gang. Supported all the terrorist around the world now it’s the time to get what they planted 😏
President Trump was a monumental achievement president !…. Biden is not that good.
It must seem very strange to joe biden making all those oversea trips now an not making money for the biden family, too much active press now to hid Hunter in the back room, cutting those family enrichment plans. If you have noticed he has very little to say, or do, and seems to wonder about, and is even unsure why he is there, yet, keeps trying to shake hands with some invisible man. He is a total embarrassment to our Nation, our Allie, the peace policies Trump negotiated.
Watch . ' What Was Saudi Arabia's Role in 911 '
Nobody cares except red meat Republicans that won't give any money to the khashoggi family. if they really care they would give money to that family
He's the most pathetic president America ever had.
Kashoggi was cut up and butchered, hauled out in Walmart luggage…..but it’s all good right?
Big hairy deal!! Pres Biden fist-pumped a foreign leader. He greeted his host. He didn't French kiss the man !!! Get over it!!
President Biden is an old man, too old to be an effective President. Sad really… for a man who might have been a wonderful national leader many years ago.
Why are y’all acting surprised? You’re fools if you believed anything this man said. He’s not able to hold anyone “accountable”😂🤣
