“We never wanted prices to be too high and wanted to avoid a situation where prices were too low. It’s clear why: our budget is made up at the rate of $ 42 per barrel. And around this figure we feel quite comfortable, ”the president said.
He also emphasized that in the future, due to the situation on the oil market, one may face a shortage of it.
Earlier, US leader Donald Trump expressed the hope that Moscow and Riyadh will reduce oil production by 10 million barrels or more.
