During an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=otswdUApU1c\">interview<\/a> Monday, White House spokesman John Kirby stressed the US and Saudi Arabia are deeply entangled. The Coordinator for Strategic Communications added, the Biden administration has enormous interest in the kingdom and could not pass up a meeting with the Crown Prince.<\/p>\n<p>His comments comes as critics have lambasted Biden for begging Saudi Arabia for oil and being friendly with its leadership, despite calling it a \u201cpariah state\u201d on the campaign trail. However, Kirby claimed Biden\u2019s Middle East tour was integral in advancing his agenda and asserted it will yield some positive results.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThey (the meetings) produced results and they will probably produce results in the future that are in the best interest of the American people,\u201d he stated. \u201cThe President went on this trip because it was in the national interest that he do it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The White House aid went on to say Biden and the Crown Prince came together on several issues, including efforts to denuclearize Iran. Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced tough questions about Biden\u2019s trip to the Middle East and his talks with Saudi leadership.<\/p>\n<p>During a press briefing Monday, she defended Biden while echoing his claims that he was tough to those he spoke to and discussed human rights with them. Her remarks came despite the foreign minister and Saudi leadership denying Biden had any such conversation with them.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Does the president still believe that Saudi Arabia and the crown prince should be considered &#8216;a pariah&#8217;?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: *word salad* <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tI8cYj4G0c\">pic.twitter.com\/tI8cYj4G0c<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1549123347333713924?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 18, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Jean-Pierre was asked if Biden still labels Saudi Arabi as a \u201cpariah\u201d despite the meeting, but played off the question by saying Biden has already addressed it. The President has not been clear with Saudi Arabia\u2019s status, only saying he doesn\u2019t regret labeling them a \u201cpariah\u201d during the campaign.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/one-on-one-with-turning-point-usas-youngest-ambassador-kellyanna-brooking\/\">One-On-One With Turning Point USA\u2019s Youngest Ambassador, Kellyanna Brooking<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE \u2013 Pentagon spokesman John Kirby speaks during a briefing at the Pentagon in Washington, Wednesday, March 9, 2022.
