If this is true, it illustrates how this is the most corrupt partisan hack to ever sit in the White House.
Saudis say Biden asked to hold oil production cut until after midterms
WASHINGTON – Saudi Arabia has claimed the US requested it holds off on reducing oil production until after the midterm elections — and denied the cut meant it was taking Russia’s side in its war against Ukraine.
In a Wednesday night statement, the Saudi Foreign Ministry said the decision by the OPEC+ cartel to reduce production by 2 million barrels per day beginning next month was made in “a purely economic context.”
However, Riyadh did acknowledge that it had made clear to the White House “that all economic analyses indicated that postponing the OPEC+ decision for another month, according to what has been suggested, would have had negative economic consequences.”
.....................
The Saudi statement also rebuffed White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s Tuesday assertion Oct. 5 action by OPEC+ “align[ed] their energy policy with Russia’s war aims and against the American people.”
“[T]hese statements … are not based on facts, and …. are based on portraying the OPEC+ decision out of its purely economic context.”
