On Thursday, OPEC+ — the international oil cartel effectively led by Saudi Arabia – held a meeting via video conference where the group decided not to further increase oil production from its previously announced plans. The group will meet again August 3.
Biden's comments come as gas prices hover near record highs in the U.S., with the average price of a gallon topping $5 nationally for first time ever earlier this month.
President Biden said Thursday he would not ask Saudi Arabia individually to increase its oil production on his forthcoming visit to the Kingdom, but would instead encourage all Gulf States to increase oil output.
Speaking during a press conference at the NATO Summit on Thursday, the president said, “I’m not going to ask them” when asked whether he would ask the King or Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia to increase oil production on his forthcoming trip.
"All the Gulf States are meeting. I’ve indicated to them that I thought they should be increasing oil production generically, not the Saudis particularly, and I think that we see them in their own interest concluding that make sense to do," Biden said.

Hardly a press conference, it was a room of over 100 reporters, it lasted 20 minutes if that, and he took questions from only 4 outlets, AP, Bloomberg, WSJ and NBC.
Good thing, since he insulted MBS, and Blinken babbles about faggots and freaks every time he speaks to his Saudi counterpart…
Feckless, impotent dork.
Instead Biden’s puppeteers plan to shut down oil fields in the US
Biden won’t ask AGAIN you mean, Jennifer.
Why Not? Did the Saudis by chance already tell Biden to STUFF his request in his Diaper?
Biden just doesn’t want to be publicly turned down... he’ll ‘ask’...
He also said Americans would have to bear the brunt of skyrocketing debilitating oil prices as long as we run the proxy war against Putin. And we are committed to the long term - that’s the info that I thought was the big news.
Dimjo simply does not like to be told NO.
So, he tucks his tail between his legs and makes a statement.
A statement written by one of the few in his administration that is still coherent and mouthed very incoherently by Dimjo himself.
> President Biden said Thursday he would not ask Saudi Arabia individually to increase its oil production... <
In other words, this already happened:
Biden: “Please, I’m begging you. Increase your oil production.”
Saudi Arabia: “No.”
That Arab should turn around and raise his ‘skirt” for effect.. d;^)
OPEC+ making tons of money just watch there will be an increase in Terrorism soon
He has already been told they will not which was further amplified by the Frog leader that they cannot do much more anyway.
The Bidet’s motto: when God provides a bountiful cherry harvest, make lemonade.
Won’t? Or can’t?
Can’t or .. “was laughed at when he asked”
Covfefe, bsby.
He was told “no” before he even asked. It is what it is at this point. He is willing to wreck everything for the whims of the International Community (a/k/a “globohomo”).
Cuz they already told him no.........
The Saudi’s said NO!
