In 2020 Presidential Candidate Biden promised he would turn Saudi Arabia into a pariah, and claimed the Saudi royal family has “very little social redeeming value”.
In July of 2022, Biden visited Saudi Arabia to ask them to increase oil production to help bring down oil and gas prices.
On Oct 10, 2022 Saudi Arabia announced OPEC (lead by Saudi Arabia) will cut oil production in order to increase oil and gas prices.
Oct 12, 2022, Saudi Arabia claimed that after informing the US of their intention to cut oil production, the Biden Administration requested they postpone their production cut by one month (after the US mid term elections). They also said they will not be honoring that request.
Biden is now threatening retaliation against Saudi Arabia, promising that when the House and Senate return from their break “there’s going to be some consequences”.
To recap:
*Despite threatening Saudi Arabia, and ridiculing the Saudi royal family, Biden requested they increase oil production.
*When Saudi Arabia announced a CUT in production, Biden asks them to delay the cut until after the mid-term elections.
*Saudi Arabia refused and then told the world about his request.
*Biden is now threatening Saudi Arabia. Again.
I’m sure Saudi Arabia is suitably concerned about what Joe Biden will do next.
