🇺🇲🇸🇦 How Biden lost Saudi Arabia “Saudi Arabia is moving closer to accepting the yuan as payment for oil supplies to China. This is another and very significant price to pay for the Biden administration's mishandling of a strategically important ally. Riyadh is reconsidering its positions, as they have realized that they should not rely on Washington. They saw the hostility of the Biden administration and the horrendous withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. The crown prince has rebuffed Biden's calls to increase oil production, and if reports are to be believed, he even refused to take a phone call from the US president. Beijing is glad to be able to fill the void, and if the negotiations succeed, it will be able to reap a lot of benefits.”
