What next for US Saudi relations?

Newsday

Available for over a year

President Joe Biden has spoken with the Saudi leader King Salman. The two nations are long standing allies but there is always the issue of human rights. The two men talked on the phone ahead of the release of a US report of an investigation into the gruesome murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. We discuss where the relationship will go from here. The pandemic has taken much from us, and in the Amazon region it has now sounded the death blow to an entire ethnic group , as the last male member of the Juma people dies from the disease. And if you thought moving house was difficult, wait to hear about moving an actual house in San Francisco - that's the entire structure rolling down the street.
