Should Saudi Arabia worry? Biden warns of consequences over OPEC+ oil cuts • FRANCE 24 English

There will be consequences. Joe Biden's warning to Saudi Arabia after Riyadh sided with Russia and other OPEC-Plus nations and agreed to cut oil production. What consequences does Biden mean? For their part, Gulf states argue they're not trying to bankroll the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine but prop up a price of crude threatened by the spectre of a global recession and slowing demand.

[@JohnnyAmerique]

The US could ban oil exports - in fact, it would only take an executive order, not even an act of Congress, to do so - in which case the US market would become quite saturated, and there would be an immediate decoupling of the US domestic market with the global market. This would send global oil prices well above $100 a barrel, but in the USA, there would be a functional price ceiling of around $75. However, this would have a very negative impact on US allies in Europe and East Asia, and so the Biden administration is wise not to do so. A future administration might not take such a global view though, so be careful what you wish for.

Not so much, this is a person that has a clear interest in Saudi Arabia. President Biden has just announced a 15 million barrel increase in production. Also, the Saudis need to keep in mind, they sleep comfortably at night under the protection of the United States. It is a fact that if the United States stops that, Iran soon after will invade that country.

[@the-dark-side.]

He's telling you "oil is not gas" and that's true. But gas comes from oil. Less oil = less gas. Less available oil to make gas and less gas in the system means higher prices. i'm pretty sure US does have something to do with their production of actual gas. Whether the US told them to not mention back the scaling back of oil is dubious. And he provides no evidence. And then he said that they were "meddling in the election" which is at best the least generous interpretation of what he then went onto describe. But sounds more like creating a narrative which paints the Biden administration as the villains while Saudi Arabia cuts the SUPPLY OF AVAILABLE OIL which is less available to make gas. The Biden administraion should STFU about consequences and actually do something or he's going to look weak if he doesn't or screw us over in the long term if he does.

If it is true that the US is largest oil producer in the world then instead of threats of consequence to others the US should limit the amount of domestic oil to be sold on the open market and Instead sold and used domestically. They could also choose to provide access to oil produced domestically to those whom are aligned with their interests. This could be done under the umbrella of National Security. If they were to do that then the power of greed will kick in and OPEC would need to turn on the faucet.

[@godisgoodallthetime3845]

That sound good but we can’t limit oil export to be sold in the open market. It will affect the global economy if we limit oil to Europe. You can say what you want about America, but we do care for countries that are like minded and especially Europe.
