President Joe Biden reevaluates US relations with Saudi Arabia after OPEC + last week’s decision to cut oil production. This was stated by National Security Advisor to the White House, John Kirby, in an interview with CNN.
“The issue concerns not only the war in Ukraine, but the national security interests of the United States,” he stressed.
The chairman of the Senate foreign policy commission, Robert Menendez, yesterday asked for the freezing of relations with Saudi Arabia, reports the Associated Press, reports Bnr.
Four days ago, the OPEC + group, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, announced a two million barrels per day reduction in oil production. This will raise oil prices in world markets and allow the Kremlin to continue financially supporting its eight-month invasion of Ukraine, the Associated Press commented.
