Donald Trump shook hands with Saudi Arabia’s Prince Mohammed bin Salma during a meeting in the Oval Office, before slamming Joe Biden for fist-bumping the crown prince in 2022.

After MBS said that the US president was “on another league” compared to other former presidents, the pair shook hands before Mr Trump said: “I don’t give a fist bump…I don’t care where it’s been.”

During a trip to Jeddah, then-President Biden refused to shake the hand of the crown prince. It came after a US intelligence report said the de facto leader "approved an operation in Istanbul to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi”.
