The United States has reportedly stopped asking Saudi Arabia to pump
more oil to combat market disruption from Russia’s war with Ukraine as
the relationship between the U.S. and the oil rich kingdom is said to
have hit a new low.
President Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan brought up
the 2018 killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in a meeting with
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman which angered the crown prince
to the point where he told Sullivan never to mention it again and to
forget about Saudi Arabia increasing its oil production, according to a
Wall Street Journal report on Wednesday.
