"Accepted Putin's side": Biden threatens Saudi Arabia for oil plot with Russia

American congressmen believe that saudes help the President of the Russian Federation. If OPEC countries restrict oil production, Russian black gold will become more expensive and the aggressor will receive more money to continue the war in Ukraine. The United States should rethink interaction with Saudi Arabia after its agreements with Russia to reduce oil production. US President Joe Biden said this in an interview with the American CNN. "The fact that they (saudi - ed.

) Have done with Russia, will have some consequences," the American leader warned. The decision of the OPEC oil cartel, headed by Saudi Arabia to reduce production last week, caused the White House anger. Officials say Biden was very disappointed and called Arabia's decision "short -sighted," journalists said.

CNN notes that such a step 3 months after Baiden's meeting with the heir to Prince Saudi Arabia Muhammad Ibn Salman Al Saud will raise gas prices before the November intermediate elections to the US Congress. "Let's figure out why I went (to meet with Muhammad Ibn Salman, - Ed. ). ) In the summer, gas prices in the United States reached a maximum, but gradually they decreased. This gave Biden and his assistants a strong trump card before the elections.

The increase in gas demand and repair at refining plants has increased fuel prices. OPEC decisions will only strengthen the situation, the authors of the article noted. The head of the US Foreign Foreign Senate Committee, Robert Mendes, is necessary to freeze the US cooperation with Saudi Arabia. The senator promises to use the veto in the congress to sell weapons to Saudites.

Mendes criticizes OPEC's decision to limit oil production, this measure will cause rising resource prices, including Russian. Such a turn is financially beneficial to Russia to wage a full -scale war with Ukraine, he said. Saudi Arabia "accepted" Russian President Vladimir Putin, Menendes said. "I have to oppose the decision of the Saudi Arabia government to support Putin's war through OPEC Cartel.

It is impossible to play on both sides of the conflict: either you support the free world in trying to stop a military criminal trying to erase the whole country from the map, or you support it," - Mendes emphasized. Congresswoman Alissa Slotkin considers Saudi Arabia's decision to rapprochement with the Russian Federation is a strategic mistake. "For the best scenario, they made a solution that did not help the rest of the world.

For the worst - they joined Putin, and we have a problem," she said. The Saudi Arabian authorities emphasize that OPEC decisions to reduce production by 2 million barrels per day are required to stabilize the oil market, not to increase prices against the background of raising interest rates by central banks and the prospects of global recession.

Saudi Arabia Foreign Minister Faisal Bin Farhan Al Saud said that OPEC decision was a purely economic measure taken in agreement with all members of the group. Bin Farhan considers relations with the US strategically important. "Military cooperation between Riyadh and Washington is the interests of both countries and promotes stability in the region," he said. It should be reminded that in July Biden agreed with the Saudites to increase oil production.
