America In Desperate Position
Biden needs to show strength now.
President Biden is now considering traveling to Saudi Arabia himself to ask Saudi leaders to supply the United States with the oil that we need to lower gas prices.
President Biden is forced to do this because he is considering a ban on Russian oil but Biden also refuses to drill for more here in the United States. This means that President Biden would have to find oil from another country in order to offset the loss of Russian oil.
President Biden could have avoided these issues if he did not kill the Keystone XL pipeline early into his presidency however now America has been put into a desperate position.
President Biden turning to Saudi Arabia for oil would mean that Biden would have to smooth over a lot of issues between the two countries. According to Fox, just last year President Biden announced that Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman was responsible for the killing of Washington Post writer Jamal Khashoggi.
Mohammed bin Salman responded to Biden by saying, “We don’t have the right to lecture you in America. The same goes the other way.”
President Biden also has to deal with that fact that Saudi Arabia has made significant progress with Iran to form a new nuclear deal.
All of this could be avoided and the United States could simply start drilling for more oil here in the United States however many lawmakers, specifically in the Democratic party, have raised concerns about the effect of climate change.
