President Joe Biden is expected to make an announcement regarding a possible trip to Saudi Arabia as he looks at foreign assistance to abate the ever-increasing pain at the gas pump.

When asked by reports during a conference on June 3 whether he was planning to visit Saudi Arabia, Biden replied that he was “not sure,” and had “no direct plans at the moment.” During the presidential elections, Biden had maintained a hardline stance against Saudi Arabia and called for the country to be made a “pariah” after the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
