Plans by OPEC+ bloc to cut oil output reignites Biden administration’s worry ahead of November midterms with Democratic lawmakers seeking cut in arms sales to Saudi Arabia in response
Biden administration is"assessing" its reaction to OPEC+ alliance's decision to cut two million barrels a day, officials say, as Western allies seek to cap oil money flowing into Russia's war chest.
OPEC+, which combines OPEC countries and allies such as Russia, agreed to steep oil production cuts on Wednesday, curbing supply in a tight market and raising the possibility of higher gasoline prices right before the November 8 US midterm elections, when Biden's Democrats are defending their control of the House of Representatives and Senate.
Representative Ruben Gallego suggested the United States take back Patriot missile defence systems deployed in Saudi Arabia. "If they like the Russians so much they can use their very 'reliable' military technology," Gallego said on Twitter.
