The Biden administration's decision to shield Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman from U.S.-based lawsuits was backed by Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark, on Fox News Sunday.
A panel on "Morning Joe" called President Biden's messaging and actions on Saudi Arabia "incoherent" and his decision to give immunity to the Saudi Crown Prince "disturbing."argument that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was protected by sovereign immunity from lawsuits filed against him in the death of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
"What matters most about governments around the world is less whether they're democratic or not democratic and more whether they're pro-American or anti-American," Cotton said."The simple fact is Saudi Arabia has been an American partner going back 80 years." The Biden administration's position on the issue has proved controversial, with Washington Post CEO Fred Bryan saying the decision fails"to uphold America's most cherished values."
