Better tell that to the Biden administration. They are the ones who confirmed.
WASHINGTON – The Biden administration admitted Thursday it had asked Saudi Arabia to delay the OPEC+ vote to cut oil production until the cartel’s next meeting – after the midterm elections.
Nice "headline", if that is what is. And so misleading, but coming from you, that's no surprise!
The Biden administration (so not Joe Biden himself) asked the Saudis to delay a vote on cutting oil production until their next meeting.
The reason for the request had nothing to do with the midterm elections. It had to do with the fact that a decrease of production would increase revenue for Russia when the market didn't need another price rise. Not everything in the world is about American elections!
