US to 'reevaluate' relationship with Saudi Arabia after OPEC move
The White House has nodded to calls among Democrats in Congress for a reappraisal of Washington's seven decades of support to the kingdom.
The White House will “reevaluate” the United States’ relationship with Saudi Arabia after OPEC+ announced cuts to oil production last week in line with Russia’s strategic interests and ahead of key midterm elections in the United States.
“I think the president’s been very clear that this is a relationship that we need to continue to reevaluate, that we need to be willing to revisit,” National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told CNN on Tuesday. “And certainly in light of the OPEC decision, I think that’s where he is.”
