The White House unsuccessfully tried to arrange calls between President Biden and the de facto leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as the U.S. was working to build international support for Ukraine and contain a surge in oil prices, said Middle East and U.S. officials.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the U.A.E.’s Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan both declined U.S. requests to speak to Mr. Biden in recent weeks, the officials said, as Saudi and Emirati officials have become more vocal in recent weeks in their criticism of American policy in the Gulf.
“There was some expectation of a phone call, but it didn’t happen,” said a U.S. official of the planned discussion between the Saudi Prince Mohammed and Mr. Biden. “It was part of turning on the spigot [of Saudi oil].”
Mr. Biden did speak with Prince Mohammed’s 86-year-old father, King Salman, on Feb. 9, when the two men reiterated their countries’ longstanding partnership. The U.A.E.’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the call between Mr. Biden and Sheikh Mohammed would be rescheduled.

I'm tired of this country being held hostage by these madmen.
There are madmen (or senile men) holding this country hostage, but I don't think Nevilledog and I are thinking of the same people.

Additional information from the article:
On Monday, Ms. Psaki said the president stood by his view that Saudi Arabia should be treated like a “pariah” state and that the leadership had little redeeming social value.
When asked in an interview with the Atlantic magazine released last week if Mr. Biden misunderstood the Saudi leader, Prince Mohammed responded: “Simply, I do not care.”
Prince Mohammed said alienating the Saudi leaders would hurt the U.S. president. “It’s up to him to think about the interests of America,” he said. “Go for it.”
So much winning by the Biden administration. He can't even get other world leaders to return his phone calls. And he has taken every step possible to drive up the price of crude. The DUmmies are avoiding this thread because even they find it to be embarrassing for the White House but they will still back him, because he's got a D after his name.

Shows how inept Slo Joe is and how willfully out of touch the primitives are. They really ignore anything that says their ideology and their leaders aren’t universally loved and admired.

But I thought Brandon was loved and respected in the world? How can this be?
Is Brandon not begging for oil in the proper manner of prostrating himself like Obummer?

Yes such a world leader that several countries are refusing to take Joey the Corrupt Pedophile's calls for begging for oil.
We are respected again!! Thanks Shits His Pants, you are magnificent.
