.POTUS's campaign promise regarding Saudi Arabia has not aged well. That's what critics say after the kingdom and its controversial leader have racked up a series of wins capped off by the merger of the PGA Tour with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf.
That's what critics say after the kingdom and its controversial leader have racked up a series of wins capped off by the merger of the PGA Tour with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf."Is Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman trolling President Biden?" the Wall Street Journal's editorial board wrote last week."Call it the revenge of the 'pariah,' to borrow Mr. Biden’s epithet for MBS.
But Biden had another reason to talk tough about Saudi Arabia, which was the crown prince's relatively close relationship with the Trump administration, in particular with former President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. Thus, Biden's tough talk helped showcase a clear contrast with his 2020 campaign opponent.
But the move didn't seem to improve relations. Saudi Arabia announced last October it would cut production and did so again in April.Biden vowed to impose consequences on Saudi following the October cuts, but those failed to emerge. Recent reports indicate that threats from the crown prince may have played a role.
Adding insult to injury, LIV Golf partnered with Trump before the merger, hosting three tournaments at golf courses he owned.
