Sen. Kennedy: ‘Floundering’ Biden Won’t Increase U.S. Oil By Meeting With Saudi Crown Prince

When asked if President Joe Biden’s trip to Saudi Arabia this week is appropriate, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) blasted the administration’s attempt to lower U.S. oil prices and stressed that doing so will not be possible until “Biden and his regulators get their boot off the neck of the oil and gas industries.”

On July 12, CNS News asked the senator, “Is it appropriate for President Biden to travel to Saudi Arabia to meet with the Crown Prince?”

While Kennedy supports the Biden administration’s efforts to “repair relations” with Saudi Arabia, he is skeptical that Biden’s past comments about the Crown Prince will help.

“I mean, is it ‘appropriate?’” he replied. “I think we obviously need to repair relations with Saudi Arabia. I don’t know what kind of reception he’s going to get after having called the…Crown Prince everything but an ignorant slut.”

The senator questioned the president’s understanding of how to lower the nation’s record high oil prices, adding that Biden “is floundering” and “won’t admit the obvious.”
