US President Joe Biden will visit the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Saudi Arabia during his first visit to the Middle East from July 13 to 16. Biden will also hold talks with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during this period. What is the significance of Biden's visit? Why did Biden, a staunch opponent of Saudi Arabia, have to change his decision? Why is he so keen to have normal relations with Saudi? How responsible is the Russia-Ukraine war behind this? Why is the Democratic Party opposing Biden's visit? What is the opinion of experts on all these questions?
1- Foreign affairs expert Prof Harsh V Pant says that US President Joe Biden's visit to Saudi Arabia is being considered very important amid the Russia-Ukraine war. The special thing is that President Biden has been against Saudi Arabia regarding human rights. In such a situation, Biden's visit to Saudi Arabia is shocking. He said that this change in Biden's stance was not accidental. Prof Pant said that Biden wants to change relations with Saudi Arabia at a time when the country has seen a huge increase in fuel prices in the world. Biden knows that America can deal with the problem of rising fuel prices in the world only with the help of oil-rich Saudi Arabia.
2- He said that during the Russia-Ukraine war, the process of polarization in the world emerged rapidly. This war is affecting the whole world. It has also had an impact on the strategic relations of the world. He said that Joe Biden's visit to Saudi Arabia can be seen as a link to this. He said Biden's visit to Saudi Arabia represents a dramatic change in his stance on that country. Prof Pant said that during the presidential election in the US, Joe Biden had condemned Saudi Arabia during his campaign as the candidate of the Democratic Party and resolved to end the relationship. At that time, good relations were established between former President Donald Trump and Saudi Arabia. He strongly condemned those relations.
3- Prof Pant said that President Biden is following his predecessor Donald Trump in relations with Saudi Arabia. During the presidential election, he strongly condemned his relationship with Saudi Arabia. At that time it seemed that if Biden won the election, normal relations between Saudi Arabia and America would not be maintained. Prof Pant said that the situation has changed rapidly after the Russia-Ukraine war, so it is natural for Biden to change his approach as well.
Biden is facing opposition from the party regarding Saudi travel
Biden is facing fierce opposition within his party over his proposed visit to Saudi Arabia. Democratic leaders have opposed Biden's visit to Saudi Arabia. At the same time, human rights supporters and some Democratic Party leaders have asked Biden not to travel to Saudi Arabia. Traveling without fulfilling its human rights commitments will send a message to Saudi leaders that it will face no consequences for serious human rights violations. However, there has been no response from the Republican Party in this matter yet. The White House is also silent on this opposition of the party.
