trip meeting with leaders from the gulf co operation council, along with jordan, egypt, and iraq. his goal is to reassert america's leadership role. one he fears is slowly being eroded by geopolitical rivals. wrong becoming clear to me. now how close lunar woven america's interest, or with the successes in the land. we will not walk away and leave a vacuum to be filled by china. russia were ran by didn't faces high inflation back home, driven partly by a spike in energy prices. so he's pushing gulf leaders, including saudi arabia, to ramp up oil production and bring down fuel costs a goal. he's failed to achieve the game. look at, we don't know if you had the magic kingdom or carry out it's rolled with regards to oil and gas production, as it announced increasing its production capacity to 13000000 barrels a day. what saudi arabia will no longer be able to increase production. beyond that monthly total, returning to the u. s. empty handed is a problem for president grappling with low approval ratings. biden's also being criticized for resetting relations with leaders, accused of human rights violations among them, the saudi crown prince, the c i a believes mohammed bin selman may have approved the killing in 2018 of journalist shemelle cas shall g. but referring to the invasion of iraq, the saudis counter that america has lost its moral high ground mistakes like this happened

is i'm all i be at states and but by that wants to distance himself, not think the responsibility for supporting the israeli population throughout all these years. and once again, we seeing now just, you know, a couple of days after is what one day after he's been there that there are viruses, you know, come back and, and is rose bombing your gaza once again. jewish settlements is expanding and that is going to be announcement about $4000.00 your units. so again, as the cut, the leader said, you know, instead of illegal jewish settlements, one advance peace settlement. unfortunately, this is the 1st american president that does not spend separate capital. what ethical capital to advance the cause of peace, which is in any, by itself, a cause for alarm, for most of those present in palestine and arab world. while that a week of extreme temperatures is caused wildfire to spread in western europe and north africa. some of the west 5 are in portugal, a hundreds of people has been
