Biden, ‘Fearing’ Saudi Arabia, ‘Won’t Penalize’ MBS After He Promised During Election That He Would Hold Saudi Leaders Accountable: Reports

Democrat President Joe Biden appears to be going back on a promise that he made during his presidential campaign following the release of a declassified report that alleges that Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman (MBS) “approved” an operation that resulted in the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The New York Times reported late on Friday that Biden would not punish MBS because he was “fearing” what the consequences would be if he did so.
