Experts also fear that continued high oil prices could make it more difficult for the US to tamp down inflation, which has already skyrocketed this year. “Saudi Arabia is taking the side of trying to ensure the stability of the oil markets.”“Saudi Arabia does not politicize oil. Saudi officials have insisted that the production cut is being done to protect the country’s economic interests. Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut on Wednesday called for immediate action on his bill that would stop US arm sales to Saudi Arabia. When asked about growing calls in Washington to limit ties with Saudi Arabia, al-Jubeir said he hoped that such talk was motivated by domestic politics ahead of the midterms.

On Wednesday, OPEC+, the oil cartel led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, agreed to slash production by 2 million barrels per day, twice as much as analysts had predicted, in the biggest cut since the Covid-19 pandemic. “Saudi Arabia is looking to head off a repeat of 2008 when the market crash sent the global economy into a recession and oil prices suddenly plummeted, requiring emergency action by OPEC,” said Wald. Analysts also say Saudi Arabia cannot afford to let oil prices go below a certain level for budgetary reasons. For its budget to break even, global oil prices must be at around $79 a barrel, according to the International Monetary Fund. That was a warning sign for Saudi Arabia and other oil exporters, who depend on oil for a majority of their revenue.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is leading an economic overhaul to reduce the kingdom’s dependence on oil, while also punishing dissent and limiting free speech. Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Tuesday named his son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman , as prime minister Tuesday, boosting the profile of the 37-year-old day-to-day ruler of the kingdom as he tries to end years of international isolation over a journalist’s killing. Prime minister, a title traditionally held by the Saudi monarch, will extend Prince Mohammed’s tight grip on power, as he already oversees the country’s most sensitive portfolios—the economy, defense and oil. King Salman also sees his son as a national figure who represents the kingdom’s restless younger generation.

Potrivit unui delegat care a avut acces la discuţiile închise pentru presă, ''discursul său a constat în a spune că a făcut o muncă absolut incredibilă în timpul mandatului său, pe plan economic şi împotriva pandemiei''. ''Nu a spus niciun cuvânt despre chestiunile internaţionale'', afirmă aceeaşi sursă. Conform unui al doilea participant, Donald Trump ar fi spus în scurta sa intervenţie: ''A fost o onoare să lucrez cu voi şi mă bucur să lucrez cu voi în viitor şi pentru o perioadă îndelungată''.
