13:23Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden has broken another one of his campaign promises, and this time he has failed to hold the state of Saudi Arabia accountable for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi as well as halting weapons sales to the country amid their war with Yemen. However, Biden has done none of that and has even hired people into his administration with financial links to Saudi Arabia as well as the United Arab Emirates, like Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"On the campaign trail in November 2019, then-candidate Joe Biden said in a primary debate that he would make Saudi Arabia “pay the price, and make them in fact the pariah that they are.” The comments came after the Persian Gulf monarchy had been roundly condemned for the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
After a year in office, so far the Biden White House is doing anything but making Saudi Arabia a pariah. Instead, the administration has kept Saudi Arabia close, along with the Gulf kingdom’s junior partner, the United Arab Emirates. The two Gulf monarchies, with direct U.S. participation, are deeply involved in a war against Yemen that has drawn criticism for its tremendous humanitarian costs and death toll of 377,000. Biden, however, has not taken moves to constrain the war effort against Yemen, the poorest country in the Middle East, and is appealing to the Gulf monarchies to increase oil production, to offset rising prices amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. (Saudi Arabia and the UAE are reportedly responding to those appeals by demanding even more U.S. support for the Yemen war effort.)"
