President Joe Biden walks down the steps of Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., June 14, 2022.Strada was responding to a comment by White House spokesman John Kirby during an interview with CNN earlier in the day. A White House spokesperson told ABC News that "our hearts are always with the 9/11 survivors and families who are suffering" and noted the president has taken steps toward accountability.
Biden is seeking ways to relieve high gas prices, which have in large part been pushed higher by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent sanctions on Moscow's oil and gas sector. While Saudi Arabia and the Biden administration have both said energy security will be part of Biden's discussions during his visit, the White House has sought to avoid the negative optics of an American president flying to Saudi Arabia in a bid for more oil.
But while Biden once pledged to isolate Saudi Arabia, Jean-Pierre said Tuesday he was "not looking to rupture relationships."
