The Objective Reality of the U.S.-Saudi Relationship,After more than a week of indecision, the Biden administration has confirmed that the president will travel to Saudi Arabia next month to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the country’s ruler. When I spoke with bin Salman—known universally as MBS—in December, he all but dared President Joe Biden not to meet with him. He told me that Biden’s job is to look out for American interests, and that if Biden thought that meant pissing off Saudi Arabia, then he should give that theory a try and see what happens. “Go for it,” MBS said to me in English, which he speaks well but not perfectly. I believe the idiom he was searching for was “make my day.”

Getting an expensive tech gadget for Christmas? You might want to consider insurance,Getting an expensive tech gadget for Christmas? You might want to consider insurance,It’s rare to be able to kick off a column with a good insurance news story. But for the six weeks around Christmas your home insurance has gone up in value. Most policies have a clause recognising that there is more stuff under the Christmas tree – such as gadgets, toys and new clothes – so they increase contents cover by 10pc. It means if you have to make a claim, you’ll get more items covered for their proper value. Tags:articleBUSINESSindependentindependent.ieNewsPersonal Financepopular
