You get a handshake! You get a fist bump!
—sending mixed messages about White House measures to minimize contact amid a COVID surge—the president bumped fists with Saudi Arabia’s crown prince when they met at Al Salam Royal Palace in Jeddah Friday morning.
Some have speculated that Biden began bumping fists on his Middle East trip so he could avoid being photographed shaking hands with Mohammad bin Salman, who the CIA believes ordered the operation to kill journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. When campaigning for president, Biden promised to make Saudi Arabia a “pariah” for Khashoggi’s death, and he said in June that he would not meet with the crown prince.
