Harris’ foreign policy record gives insight to goals: Getting tough on Saudi Arabia and renewing Iran deal [Video]

Saudi Arabia and its partners in the region may have a fraught relationship with the U.S. if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the presidency, experts say. 

As a 2020 presidential candidate, Harris was highly critical of the kingdom after the killing of journalist Jamaal Khashoggi and backed a 2019 Senate bill demanding a public report on it. 

And in response to a 2019 questionnaire from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Harris called the Saudis “strong partners,” but said the U.S. needed to “fundamentally reevaluate our relationship” and “us[e] our leverage to stand up for American values and interests.”

She also expressed outright opposition to weapons sales to Saudi Arabia. 

President Biden approved a massive, multibillion-dollar arms deal with the Saudis in 2022, then paused offensive weapons sales to the nation until earlier this month.

“We need to end U.S. support for the catastrophic Saudi-led war in Yemen,” Harris said in response to CFR.
