US President Joe Biden, in an interview with CNN, promised Saudi Arabia “consequences for what it did with Russia”, referring to last week’s decision by the OPEC Plus group to reduce oil production by two million barrels a day.
Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman denied the authenticity of reports on coordination between Saudi Arabia and Russia, which leads the OPEC Plus group, to raise oil prices. At a time, there were reports of American pressure to discourage the Kingdom from making a decision to reduce oil production.
Biden said in the interview that his visit to Saudi Arabia was not due to oil, adding, “We have to, and I’m in the middle of a trial – when the Senate and House of Representatives return – there will be some consequences for what. they did with Russia “.
When asked what kind of consequences the kingdom will face, Biden responded by saying, “I won’t go into what I consider and what I think. But there will be consequences.”
