- The White House’s relationship with Saudi Arabia has gone south quickly, with Biden aides bristling Wednesday after a top Saudi official asserted that the kingdom was the more “mature” partner.
- “It’s not like some high school romance here,” said John Kirby, the communications coordinator at the National Security Council, when asked about the Saudi’s comment.
- This all stems from a dust-up between the two countries after the Saudis decided to cut oil production.
- The Biden Administration privately had lobbied the Saudis to increase oil production at least through the midterm elections.
