Can this relationship be saved? President #Biden and #Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman really don’t like each other, and that’s hurting Saudi-U.S. ties. With @stephenkalin and @DionNissenbaum #OPEC #OOTT #Russia #US wsj.com/articles/u-s-s…

Saudi Crown Prince Mo­hammed bin Salman, the king­dom’s 37-year-old day-to-day ruler, mocks Pres­i­dent Biden in pri­vate, mak­ing fun of the 79-year-old’s gaffes and ques­tion­ing his men­tal acu­ity, ac­cord­ing to peo­ple in­side the Saudi gov­ern­ment.

One dras­tic op­tion on the ta­ble: Saudi of­fi­cials have said pri­vately that the king­dom could sell the U.S. Trea­sury bonds it holds if Con­gress were to pass anti-OPEC leg­is­la­tion, ac­cord­ing to peo­ple fa­mil­iar with the mat­ter.
