US President Joe Biden is going to visit Saudi Arabia next month. The dates have not been announced yet. The eyes of the media from all over the world are on this visit. The reason is also clear. Before and after becoming president, Biden did not pay any attention to Saudi Arabia. Didn't even talk to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) over the phone for a year and a half. Said- America is making a new strategy regarding the Gulf countries.
However, now Biden himself is going to Saudi Arabia. Apart from Prince Salman, he will also meet his father. China is trying to establish roots in the Gulf. Biden will find his bite. In 2019, Biden even called Prince Salman a murderer in gestures.
America in defense
The White House said in a statement – Biden is going to Saudi Arabia because of American interests. We will announce the date soon. He will also go to Israel. We hope that through this visit, the relationship between Saudi and America will be stronger than before. Saudi has been our strategic partner for 80 years.
According to some reports, Biden's Saudi tour may also be canceled, or may go ahead. We want Saudi Arabia to increase oil production keeping in view the situation in the world, so that prices can be controlled.
The White House has said that the date of Biden's Saudi visit will be announced soon. He will also go to Israel after Saudi.

Killing two birds with one stone
Biden will go to Israel as well as Saudi Arabia. During Donald Trump's era, America had made many successful efforts to improve relations between Israel and the Gulf countries. 5 Gulf countries including UAE have also started diplomatic relations with Israel. Now Saudi is also rapidly coming closer to Israel. It is believed that during Biden's visit, a big decision can be taken on starting diplomatic relations between Israel and Saudi.
If this happens, it will be a huge success for Biden. Israel's presence in Saudi can prove to be very helpful in stopping Iran. Even Prince Salman understands this very well.
The Biden administration believes that Saudi Prince Salman was involved in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. This is the reason why America had made distance from them.

What will Prince Salman get?
This question is very important. In fact, after becoming president, Biden kept a distance not only from Prince Salman, but also from Saudi Arabia. The reason for this was that in 2018, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered at the Saudi Embassy in Istanbul, Turkey.
Biden's Democratic Party has repeatedly said that it was Prince Salman's hand in the murder, as he was deeply upset by Jamal's anti-Saudi attitude. Trump did not pay attention to this issue, but the Biden administration raised it a lot. Now that Biden himself is going to Saudi Arabia, obviously the tension between Salman and him will reduce and both the countries will get direct benefit from it.
