King Salman “highlight[ed] the role of the historic OPEC Plus agreement … and the importance of maintaining the agreement.”

Host Wolf Blitzer asked, “Did President Biden ask you, Saudi Arabia, to increase oil production with the hope that it would reduce the price of gasoline in the United States?”

Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir answered, “Not in — with specificity because the president knows that [the] energy issue is an issue of supply and demand. It’s an issue of balancing markets. Saudi Arabia’s committed to ensuring stability in the oil markets. The U.S. government is aware of this. The issue of increases in prices of gasoline that we’ve seen recently are really a function of geopolitics and psychology more than they are about fundamental supply/demand. The problem of gasoline in the United States is more a function of the lack of refining capacity in the United States than a shortage of actual crude oil.”

Blitzer then asked, “But is Saudi Arabia ready to increase oil production?”

Al-Jubeir responded, “Saudi Arabia has made it very clear over the past decades that it seeks to [ensure] market stability, that it looks at the fundamentals of supply and demand, and that it works within OPEC and now within OPEC-plus to ensure that the markets are adequately supplied with crude oil

Meanwhile, "The Crown Prince pointed out to President Biden that we the kingdom, the respect for human rights is a core value for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia based on our Islamic beliefs and our Arab heritage. And that it's absolutely important that values be spread through dialogue," he said. "Trying to impose your values on others is not going to be effective. It will get you a negative reaction. ... The right way to try and put your values forward is to show the world that you adhere first of all to those values, that you are respecting your own values."
"In the endm you cannot impose your values by force. ... The Crown Prince was quite clear with President Biden, and we have our own values and those are not going to align 100% with US values ever because we are very, very proud of our own traditions, our own values, our own faith," bin Farhan added.

The conspiracy master

I understand the reason why Washington and Riyadh are not not in good terms, it has to do with the classified information about the murder of Saudi journalist linked to the crown prince which the Biden administration later made public

Soon Biden America will take democracy and regime change to Saudi Arabia

At this pont, anyone dealing with America should be careful

Just imagine Europe now all a mess

Is that why most of your past threads don't have any records on the forum?

Why are mods taken them down if they are indeed fact

Go away.
Go live in your fantasies
Some of us need facts to decipher real-world issues. We don't want a made-belief world/metaverse
