According to Biden, the United States in many respects needs a “safe and integrated” Middle East. He explained that the sea routes of Saudi Arabia are important for global trade and supply chains.
“Its energy resources are vital for mitigating the influence of Russia’s war in Ukraine on world supplies. And instead of being torn by conflict, the region is united thanks to diplomacy and cooperation, in order to confront violent extremism that threatens our homeland, or new Wars that can lay a new burden on the American military and their families, ”Biden added.
