Our take: Biden, GCC+3 Summit to offer ‘innovative initiatives’ for region
US President Joe Biden, asked on June 12 about whether his upcoming visit to Saudi Arabia July 15-16 had anything to do with energy, responded, "No, the commitments from the Saudis don't relate to anything to do with energy. … It happens to be a larger meeting taking place in Saudi Arabia. That’s the reason I’m going. And it has to do with national security for them – (and) for (the) Israelis."
