“…And first we had a good discussion on ensuring global energy security and adequate oil supplies to support global economic growth and that will begin shortly. I am doing all I can to increase the supply for the US which I expect to happen. The Saudi’s share that urgency and based on our discussions today, I expect we will see further steps in the coming weeks.” Biden explains.
She adds, “They are in the driver’s seat, I think they would like to see more oil coming out of OPEC and you know Saudi Arabia, UAE are sort of the two countries that have some spare capacity. I don’t think enough spare capacity to really make a significant difference in terms of the price that Americans would be paying at the gas pumps.”It’s also been a busy week for the Crown Prince as he hosted the Jeddah security and development summit.
