“Bin Salman is not a friend of democracy, and he is not a friend of human rights”.This is what the American magazine Newsweek said in its report on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, adding that US President Joe Biden does not recognize Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as the de facto ruler of the kingdom.
Regarding his relationship with America, the magazine said that the Saudi crown prince is not a friend of America, as since Biden became president, has not met with MBS nor has he been recognized as the actual ruler of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
It is worth noting that several news agencies and research centers have talked about US President Biden’s contempt for the Saudi Crown Prince, and his mistreatment of him, in a way that is not even in accordance with diplomatic norms in international relations.
The Washington Post has previously said that MBS is suffering from a flagrant diplomatic crisis in his relations with the current US administration in light of his deliberate marginalization, and Biden refused his repeated requests to hold a public meeting, or even to have a phone conversation with him, pointing out that Biden has blamed the President of China and the President of Russia for their absence from the Climate Summit in Glasgow, but he did not mention the absence of the Saudi Crown Prince and is deliberately making him a pariah in all international forums.
Diplomatic sources had revealed the secret behind Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s last-minute abstention from participating in the international climate summit in Glasgow, saying that he decided not to attend, despite his name being on the list of attendees because the world’s political leaders refuse to meet with him.
MBS was absent for the first time in years from the International G20 Summit, which began at the end of last month in the Italian capital, Rome.
This reflects the growing severity of the international isolation that bin Salman is facing, and the refusal of world leaders to merely appear under one roof with him, as well as their refusal to meet with him or take memorial photos with him.
In the same context, a US official said that the US President Joe Biden did not plan to meet Mohammed bin Salman on the sidelines of the Climate Summit.
In response to a question, whether Biden will discuss increasing oil production at the G-20 summit with Bin Salman? Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said: I have nothing to announce about the potential meeting, and we don’t even know who will represent Saudi Arabia at this event, let’s see what happens in the coming days, in reference to the lack of recognition of bin Salman as the ruler of the country.
Sources had revealed bin Salman’s poor condition due to his feeling that world leaders despise and isolate him in international forums, where he is not welcomed by anyone.
