Biden Meets With Arab Leaders Amid Doubts About U.S. Commitment to Region

BEIRUT, Lebanon — President Biden will meet in Saudi Arabia on Saturday with leaders from the United States’ closest partners in the Arab world to discuss working together to contain Iran and bring stability to global energy markets thrown into disarray by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

But looming over the meetings for many of those leaders are doubts about the United States’ long-term commitment to the region and worries about whether Mr. Biden will make good on his vow to pursue a foreign policy based on human rights.

Mr. Biden has made it clear that he considers confronting Russia and China, and their ambition to replace a U.S.-led global order with a system more to their liking, a greater priority than the wars and sectarian conflicts that continue to rile the Middle East.

That has been a disquieting shift for countries that have long counted on the United States for security and now worry that they might be on their own.

The author(s?) of that article doesn't/don't comprehend that human rights have been explicit component of US foreign policy/relations since the Carter Administration.

Another reason to move toward energy and goods not controlled by those fundamentally opposed to us.
