Joe Biden has traveled to Saudi Arabia for a controversial summit. He met with Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Only two years ago, Biden had promised to make Saudi Arabia a “pariah” over the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents.

The trip has infuriated human rights activists in the US and has been denounced by a number of senior Democrat politicians.
