Description
On July 16, US President Joe Biden and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed met in Saudi Arabia. The meeting was part of Biden’s much-publicized trip to the Middle East. And as it ended, reporters had a question for the two leaders that went unanswered: why was the UAE detaining an American lawyer who once represented the slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi? The Take looks into the case of the US civil rights lawyer Asim Ghafoor.
