Biden's Saudi backtrack
----------
Basing foreign policy on morality always leads to charges of hypocrisy.
US President Joe Biden is coming face-to-face with this reality as he considers traveling to Saudi Arabia in the coming months — a nation he once branded a “pariah,” led by a government that he said had “very little social redeeming value.”
Biden’s trip to Saudi Arabia would likely include a meeting with the country’s de-facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman -- whom US intelligence has blamed for the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, a US-based Washington Post columnist and dissident who was dismembered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Saudi dissident groups, human rights campaigners and Khashoggi’s fiancée say Biden is losing his moral compass if he goes. But Biden needs Saudi help; skyrocketing gasoline prices in the United States are hammering the President’s approval ratings and could doom his party in November’s midterm elections.
Paving the way for Biden’s potential visit, OPEC last week agreed to pump more crude to offset falling Russian production due to Western sanctions over the war in Ukraine. Washington praised the Saudis for their role in that decision. The President last week tried to justify a proposed trip to Saudi Arabia as serving wider Middle East peace. “There is a possibility that I would be going to meet with both the Israelis and some Arab countries at the time — including, I expect, would be Saudi Arabia," he said.
The cold hard political truth is that America's perceived interests and its principles often clash; Washington supped with plenty of tyrants during the Cold War in its quest to defeat communism. But that doesn’t mean the US shouldn't try to do the right thing. Khashoggi's killing was an affront to US values of freedom of the press and individual rights.
Former President Donald Trump previously brushed off Khashoggi's killing on the grounds that Riyadh is on the US side against Iran (and a major purchaser of US weapons). Biden has set a higher standard -- but if he waters down his moral stance now in order to advance a political goal, he will pay a price.

Developments from Ukraine

• President Biden said the war was entering “a critical window.” He promised Kyiv an additional $800 million in military assistance, including 72 155mm howitzers and the tactical vehicles to tow them, 144,000 additional artillery rounds and more than 120 Phoenix Ghost drones.

• Russian President Vladimir Putin declared victory in the shattered Ukrainian port city of Mariupol — even as his advisers acknowledged that thousands of Ukrainian fighters remain holed up in a steel plant there and Ukraine’s president denied that Russia had made new advances. “The work of the armed forces to liberate Mariupol has been a success. Congratulations,” Putin said.

• New satellite images show a sweeping mass grave in the Russian-occupied village of Manhush, 12 miles west of Mariupol. The Maxar Technologies images show several rows of graves in four distinct sections, each measuring nearly 280 feet, first appearing sometime between March 23 and March 26.

• The Biden administration announced plans to expedite the arrival of Ukrainian refugees, creating a new system that will allow ordinary citizens and organizations such as churches to sponsor them. Officials also warned that Ukrainians attempting to cross via Mexico will be denied entry starting next week.
