Saudi Arabia ramped up U.S. influence operations during Biden’s presidency

Saudi Arabia ramped up spending on foreign lobbying and influence campaigns targeting the U.S. during the first year of President Joe Biden’s administration, an OpenSecrets analysis of Foreign Agents Registration Act filings found.

The kingdom spent tens of millions of dollars since January 2021 to build up power on the international stage and clean up its image amid mounting allegations of human rights abuses and heightened tensions around oil and arms sales.

During the first year of the Biden administration, Saudi foreign agents disclosed more than $25 million in payments for foreign influence operations and lobbying targeting the United States. That exceeds any prior year other than the unprecedented sum of about $39 million it spent in 2018, the bulk of which came as foreign agents worked to rehabilitate Saudi Arabia’s image in the weeks after Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed at Saudi Arabia’s consulate in Turkey on Oct. 2, 2018.

Saudi interests have spent over $142 million on lobbying and influence operations in the U.S. since 2016, and foreign agents have already reported millions in 2022 payments.
