On arrival in Jeddah, President Biden fist-bumped Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. Whether he chose not to shake hands for health or diplomatic reasons, even to be meeting the man was something unthinkable back in 2019 after the murder of the Saudi journalist, Jamal Kashoggi, in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul - a murder that US intelligence believes was carried out with the approval of the Crown Prince.
