President Biden, when asked if the Saudi foreign minister who said he didn't hear him accuse the crown prince of Khashoggi's murder was telling the truth, says, “No.” Asked if he regrets the fist bump, Biden says, “Why don't you guys talk about something that matters?“ — PolitiTweet.org

Biden says he told MBS he thought he was responsible for Khashoggi’s murder when MBS denied personal responsibility, says he can’t be sure he won’t be complicit in another murder and laughs off a question about criticism of their fist bump. — PolitiTweet.org

Washington Post publisher Fred Ryan says, “The fist bump between President Biden and Mohammed bin Salman was worse than a handshake — it was shameful. It projected a level of intimacy and comfort that delivers to MBS the unwarranted redemption he has been desperately seeking.” — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden, who hailed the Trump-era Abraham Accords and pledged to build upon them, praises Saudi Arabia’s decision to open its airspace to all airlines in a gesture to Israel. Biden says it’s an important step towards “building a more integrated & stable Middle East.” — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Manchin is reportedly open to lower prescription drugs prices and a two-year extension of subsidies for the Affordable Care Act, which suggests that's all Democrats are likely to get — a far cry from $3.5 trillion proposal debated last year. https://t.co/aDpeOXAsko — PolitiTweet.org

The White House makes it official, confirming for the first time that President Biden will meet with Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman without King Salman present. This was expected because of the king’s health — but is the first time the White House is acknowledging it. https://t.co/oDhqj7TuL0 — PolitiTweet.org
