Durbin admits Biden's Saudi Arabia outreach, fist bump 'didn't work'
Fox News
Sen. Dick Durbin said Wednesday that previous efforts by President Biden to reach out to and fist bump Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman "didn't work."
"I mean, it's kind of natural, you don't just meet with your friends who occasionally meet with those that are not your friends," the Illinois Democrat said on Capitol Hill. "He tried his best to reach out to him, and it didn't work. And I think he's having second thoughts about our relationship, and I certainly am too."

Earlier this month, Biden said an announcement by the oil-rich country and its fellow OPEC+ members, including Russia, to cut oil production was a "disappointment" and that it says "there are problems" in the United States' relationship with Saudi Arabia.
