“The Biden administration and the Saudis are reportedly cooking up a deal.”
reported by whom???
Exactly.
Journalism today is making shit up and finding two imaginary sources to confirm it.
The Saudis are aligned with Russia. Period. Oil policy is not going to be defined to be anything other than support of BRICS and as elevated a price as is possible. Mohammed Bin Salman runs the place and has rejected the US as not being a partner that will advance Saudi Arabia policies.
