President Biden wants to take a closer look at the longstanding U.S. relationship with Saudi Arabia after after OPEC+ decided to cut oil production last week, a decision the White House said was not warranted and mainly serves to help Russia.
Kirby said the cartel's production cut was not warranted by market conditions and called it"a short-sighted decision that benefitted Russia, at a time when nobody — in any capacity — should be trying to benefit Vladimir Putin."Riyadh maintain that the decision was prompted by market conditions — and denied it was meant to target Washington.
"The idea that Saudi Arabia would do this to harm the U.S. or to be in any way politically involved is absolutely not correct at all," Adel al-Jubeir, the Saudi minister of state for foreign affairs,The tensions between the two countries come as Biden and his fellow Democrats appeared to benefit from falling gas prices four weeks before the midterms.
