Biden vows ‘consequences’ for Saudi Arabia after oil output cuts

Joe Biden, the United States president, has warned Saudi Arabia that there will be “consequences” after a global cartel of oil-producing countries led by the kingdom and Russia announced that they would cut oil production despite Washington’s objections.

His remarks on Tuesday come a day after influential Democratic Senator Bob Menendez, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the US must immediately freeze all cooperation with Saudi Arabia, including arms sales.

Suddenly human rights violations in Saudi Arabia matter to the U.S. ?

[OmegaFares]

So basically Saudi Arabia didn't do what they wanted and USA suddenly remembered about thos human right again. USA's hypocrisy is disgusting...

[mimiwinarto]

The biggest bully is always threatening others who refuse to follow their orders. What a coward!

[haskalah]

Come on Joe forbid them to use the US-Dollar!!!
No more selling oil in Dollar!

[anmol._.sharma]

It is their sovereign right to increase or decrease production. USA is criticising everyone too much but they don't look within themselves. You can't insult someone and then expect them to be on your side

[DocDanTheGuitarMan]

I’d be surprised if this is about “human rights” The reporter strikes me as a bit naive. It’s about energy and power and the dollar

[tenpole]

It wasnt about human rights when the US came begging for oil. Do they think the world doesnt notice this?

[ramonpilgrim]

UAE President was in St. Petersburg yesterday meeting with Putin. Looks like the Middle East is aligning their interests eastward

[alecxpro]

WOW.
Who is America? The policeman of this planet?
What a nerve. Being an EU citizen I have seen the impact of US policy on the EU countries. Disastrous results!
EU will break up thanks to the American pressure to cut of from russian gas.

Who's oil is it? Saudi Arabia has full right to make any decision concerning her oil. So, why did Biden threaten Saudi Arabia? This injustice that drives from Western hegemony has to end right now. We have to support Russia to achieve this.

[notarmchairhistorian]

Probably a bad idea since, you know, they can just stop using your money and use everybody else's, which btw is the only hard reason why its still the premier reserve currency.

[hammadhussain]

A great step. It's time to show them their reality.

[GOKUBLACK-xqis]

RUSSIA & CHINA Stands with SAUDI ARABIA.
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🖤🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🖤🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦

[ianbradshaw]

He will be blowing up more pipelines !

[NothingUdo]

It's our decision whether we increase our production or decrease. You have no right to threaten us.

[shfiquehoque]

The rise of Russia means political balance in the world

[namename-qbxe]

Usa with torture camps on anexed Cuban land talking about human rights... Lol

[PianoMatronNeeNee]

Sadly I have zero confidence in our leadership. Things just keep getting worse and worse in many ways.

[isthisshabab]

US looking for loyal dogs in Arabia and Russia looking for capable partners in Arabia

Только и слышу от Америки слово 'наказание'- наверное любимое слово. Свет тухнет в США, и у этих политиков уже ноги дрожат. Саудовской Аравии желаю мужества, и процветания всему мусульманскому миру. Вместе мы победим.
