JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) – President Joe Biden has told Arab leaders that the United States “will not walk away” from the Middle East. Biden spoke Saturday at a summit of Arab Gulf countries being held in Saudi Arabia. Biden pledged continued U.S. involvement in the region as he tries to help foster stability in a volatile corner of the world. The U.S. president is on the final leg of a four-day trip to the region. Hours before the summit, the White House released intelligence showing Russian officials have recently visited Iran to see weapons-capable drones it is looking to acquire to use against Ukraine.
