Saudi Arabia is not responsible for high prices for fuel in the United States, said Foreign Minister Adele al-Jubeir in an interview with Fox News.
“with all due respect, the reason for high prices in the United States is that you have a processing deficit that has existed for more than 20 years. You have not built processing plants for decades,” he emphasized.
The minister also said that Riyadh does not use oil as a weapon, but considers it an “important part of the world economy.” According to him, the idea that Saudi Arabia reduces oil production in order to harm the United States or to participate in political life in any way, “completely incorrect.”
It was previously reported that a number of officials in the US Presidential Administration Joe Biden after the OPEC+ reduction in oil production by 2 million barrels. A day doubted the performance of the head of state to Saudi Arabia. Some officials considered the actions of Saudi Arabia (the largest member of the OPEC cartel), which can lead to a new jump in the United States, “insult” Biden.
