Biden, in Saudi Arabia to strengthen partnerships

US President Joe Biden said the upcoming mission to Saudi Arabia aims to strengthen “a strategic partnership” that “respects fundamental values”. In an editorial in the Washington Post, Biden, who will travel to Israel and Saudi Arabia next week, explained that the visit aims to strengthen “a strategic partnership based on mutual interests and responsibilities, respecting American fundamental values”.
“I know that many disagree with my decision to go to Saudi Arabia – continues the president – My views on human rights have been clear for years and fundamental freedoms are always on the agenda when they go on missions and they will also be in this case “. The controversy surrounding Biden’s trip is mainly linked to the murder of the Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi after which the American president himself declared he wanted to isolate the oil monarchy.
