The authorities of Saudi Arabia denied the political background of the decision of OPEC + on oil

This is stated in the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the kingdom.

“The Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia completely denies these statements, which are not based on facts and are based on an attempt to present the OPEC + decision as going beyond purely economic framework,” the statement said.

It is noted that the decision to reduce oil production was taken unanimously by all countries of the OPEC + group.

On October 5, oil producers OPEC + at a meeting agreed to reduce production by 2 million barrels per day from November.

After that, Washington said that American leader Joe Biden was disappointed with the decision of OPEC+.

Also, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre noted that the United States is reviewing relations with Saudi Arabia.

Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov called the decision of OPEC+ a victory for common sense.
