High oil prices - Biden's plan to isolate Mohammed bin Salman bites the dust?

The U.S. National Security Council confirmed a Biden trip to Israel & Saudi Arabia is in the works. The potential mid-July trip may bring Biden face to face with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. 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. Amid spiralling inflation, Biden is trying to find ways to lower gasoline prices in the United States.
