The Saudis got a PR victory when Joe fist-bumped the murderous Crown Prince.
Then, they sent Joe packing with a small increase in oil, which will not make a big difference in gas prices.
the message was delivered, while SA gets to save some face...diplomacy.
As for the oil deal...we'll have to wait until August when the oil producing countries meet.
IMO, there were several other important Middle East related issues discussed during Biden's meeting with MBS...glad he went there.
btw, our President at the time of Khashoggi's murder did all he could to help MBS cover it up...denied CIA report on the matter...am I right? I'll take Joe Biden over Donald Trump for honesty and moral judgement.
