President Joe Biden will recalibrate American relations with Saudi Arabia and will communicate through Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz rather than Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the White House said Tuesday.

'We've made clear from the beginning that we're going to recalibrate our relationship with Saudi Arabia,' White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at her briefing on Tuesday.

She said part of that recalibration would include Biden speaking to the Saudi king, instead of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman - a marked change in policy from the Trump administration.

The king is 85. Less likely to change the subject from Joek's favorite color of Depends.

Also, the prince probably isn't into naked showering with dogs and grandkids...

I though that Kamala Harris was handling the communications with heads of state.

LOL - Two Dear Leaders, BOTH totally incapacitated by dementia. Can you imagine the conversation...Senile Joe: “Hello King Salmon, this is Joe.” King: “Give me applesauce or you get no oil.” Senile Joe: “You want me to bathe you in applesauce oil?” King: “I would like bath in applesauce oil.” Senile Joe: “Jill, get Kamala, this call is for her”.

Speaking or kneeling?

A marked change from the Obama administration, too.

Think maybe someone didn't do their homework on this one.

Downside: Biden has just insulted the future king of Saudi Arabia.
Upside: (Uhh...I’ll have to get back to you on that.)

If Trump had done this, they press would be skewering him for
insulting one of our allies.

Jao does it and they’re convinced he’s the most astute person
they can think of.
