Biden-MBS' first meet likely; U.S to sing a different tune amid high oil prices?

U.S. President Joe Biden could meet Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as early as next month. If the meeting materialises, it'll signify a big climbdown by Biden, who pledged to make Saudi a 'pariah'. Since taking over as president, Biden hasn't met or interacted with MBS, the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia. The U.S. demoted MBS to the rank of Defence Minister & Biden opted to speak directly to ailing King Salman.
