Leaders in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates declined calls with President Biden as the war in Ukraine intensified, Middle East and U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday.
"There was some expectation of a phone call, but it didn't happen," a U.S. official told the Journal regarding a call between Biden and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. "It was part of turning on the spigot [of Saudi oil]."
UAE leader Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed also declined a call from Biden, according to the officials.
Officials told the outlet that US relations with the two Gulf countries have been strained over the Biden administration's lack

The Hill must have missed the paragraph in the Journal's article that pointed out that both Saudi Arabia and the Emirates took calls from Putin last week after rejecting Biden’s attempt. And, they also spoke with Ukraine's president.

UAE during the Trump years: We'll sign on to the Abraham Accords. UAE during the Biden years: Busy signal.

I'll never, ever forget that 15 of the 19 hijackers on September 11, 2001, were Saudis. Saudi Arabia is not our friend.

Biden has been wrong from day one in the Senate on foreign policy. His ineptness and failure continues except he’s in charge now and not a minion executing for someone else like Obama or Soros.

This jerk, who spend 50 years in politics, is just too dumb to realize how his word salads and hideous 'deals' with other nations make him enemy #1. The most awful deal that dumber than a brick Blinken and Kerry and the Russians, yes, the Russians worked out on our behalf will give the Iranians the possibility to nuke Saudi Arabia, Israel and anyone else they don't like. Hey, Bidet, why would anyone want to talk to you?? Who wants to hear your slurred lies, and your disgusting bragging! They hate you! Get it man??Come on, even a moron like you should understand why they hate you!
Open up American oil, you absolute moron and shut that waitress strumpet AOC up and the rest of that nothing group.

The Arabs see him as nothing more than a wooden life-size humanoid puppet. They’re not fooled, like the 39% of idiot American voters.

I wouldn't take a call from old cabbage head either. He's obviously going to ask them to turn their oil faucets on for us while we sit on ours. The only thing muslims give us is their illegal immigrants.

A complete disaster is the Xiden administration. I cannot think of enough descriptive adjectives to show their level of incompetence.

Reminds me of a video from the 0bama years…Smidgen had gone to an international conference somewhere (can’t remember) and was standing in a receiving line with the other world leaders. As guests made their way down the line shaking hands, many of them skipped right past 0bama and shook the next guys hand. They had no respect for him or fear of him. And now he’s running the show again.
That’s how we got here.

Why talk to Xiden? On stage would you converse with the hind quarters of a pantomime horse? Because of the 0bama/Xiden policies the world is smart to ignore him. In this play Xiden doesn't rehearse. At all.

They can't be seen as talking orders from the US. Do it in private and they would probably consider the request, make it public 'forget it pal'. FJB is such an idiot.

OPEC isn't going to adjust its negotiated production to support the US or West. They were pressured to do so to support higher market prices so Western producers could turn a profit. And now it goes kaflooey on the West. Oil well over $100, some say headed to $200/bbl.
BTW: Whatever happened to those loaded tankers used for surplus storage when oil prices were sub-$50 not long ago?

What's the point? He won't remember what he talked about. We get a very rehearsed and sanitized presentation from him. I would give anything to meet him privately and have a casual conversation with him. I bet he is in cloud cuckoo land at most times.
