U.S. President Biden said on the 25th that he would try to make bilateral relations “as strong and transparent as possible” in a telephone conversation with Saudi King Salman.

Before their call, a Saudi legal document showed that the killer of the murder of Saudi journalist Khashoggi had used the private plane of the Saudi Crown Prince’s company.

According to Reuters, the White House said that Biden talked to Salman on the phone on the 25th to discuss regional security and other issues with him.

The US-S.-S.-Shaan leaders confirmed the historic relationship between the two countries.” The White House issued a statement saying.

Earlier, White House spokesman Pusaki said that the Biden administration would readjust the US-Sand-Sharand relationship, express concern in certain areas, and retain the possibility of accountability.

Biden and Salman reportedly did not directly mention the newly disclosed Khashoggi-related documents in the phone call that day.

Salman stressed the importance of “strengthening partnerships”, especially in “coping with the Iranian threat”.

Reuters analyzed that the report is a test of the decades-old close relationship between the two allies.

Before the US-Saudi leaders talked on the phone, CNN revealed on the 24th that according to a Saudi legal document classified as “highest secret”, the two private planes of the assassination team involved in the killing Khashoggi belonged to the same company, which was short before the incident was Saudi Allah. Prince Mohammed took over.
