Biden Left Awaiting Benefits After Landmark Trip to Saudi Arabia

President Biden's trip to Saudi Arabia aimed to secure a commitment for increased oil production to ease U.S. gas prices. However, no firm agreement was reached, as Saudi Arabia deferred the decision to the broader OPEC+ alliance. The trip was politically risky, with Biden under pressure from inflation and upcoming midterms. Despite a controversial fist bump with Saudi leaders, Biden's administration remains hopeful, looking to other producers like the UAE and Kuwait. The outcome of this diplomatic effort remains uncertain, with potential political implications for Biden.
