WH rails against OPEC+ for cutting oil production, says bloc 'aligning with Russia'

OPEC+ declared on Wednesday that it would cut oil production by 2 million barrels per day.

The White House on Wednesday denounced the organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC+) for "aligning with Russia" after the bloc announced it would cut oil production, contrary to President Joe Biden's urging.

"The President is disappointed by the shortsighted decision by OPEC+ to cut production quotas while the global economy is dealing with the continued negative impact of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine," National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and National Economic Council Director Brian Deese said in a joint statement, per the Epoch Times.

OPEC+ declared on Wednesday that it would cut oil production by 2 million barrels per day, a move that has already sent global fuel prices soaring. The reduction came despite Biden's prior efforts to secure a deal for the bloc to boost production.

The president travelled to Saudi Arabia in July hoping to convince the kingdom to boost production, both to combat surging oil prices and to undercut the economic lifelines for Russia as Moscow continues to wage war in Ukraine. Biden failed to secure any deal and energy prices surged higher following his departure.

Biden has been repeatedly cutting US oil and gas production since his first day in office. Biden has been “siding with Russia” as well.

Our Strategic Oil Reserve is now at 40%, thanks to Biteme’s brilliant idea of reducing gas prices before the election..

But, as he said on a live mike today,
“Nobody fcks with a Biden”,

so watch out OPEC!

Awwww, you mean a “Fist bump” does not override all the Saudi bad-mouthing Biden has done?
“It’s just business”, pump less at higher price for the win.
Surely ol slow Joe know how this works, his son is such an expert in the energy field.

Another total embarrassment for the US. Almost as bad as Afghanistan.

I imagine Sock Puppet is going to retaliate against OPEC by not importing any of their oil.

The woke radical green globalists are feared and despised by the Islamic World. The decant west offers nothing for OPEC+ but loss of culture, religion and economic viability. BRICS, OPEC, SCO nations and all the developing world are now the natural enemies of DC as are we US citizens.

No, by the people’s chioce to replace President Trump with lying Joe Biden in the 2020 election. We have a bunch of wicked, evil bastards that hate the United States of Americe with a white hot passion. And their sole and only aim and goal is the total and completes destruction. These are the sons of bitches who, thanks to the Infinite Wisdom of the people A/K/A, voters that are in control of and are running the United States of America today. And the best is yet to come.
