Saudis confirm he asked them to delay oil production cut until vote
Officials in Saudi Arabia already have confirmed, in a rare statement, that Joe Biden put pressure on OPEC+ members to delay a planned oil production cut until November.
That would be when the midterm election campaign essentially is over, and and a production cut then, raising raise gasoline prices in America, would make little difference on the vote. An October cut is viewed by Democrats as harming their electoral odds.
The oil coalition, in fact, announced a production cut of two million barrels per day on Oct. 5 and that prompted Biden’s White House to issue threats to the Saudis.
