The White House said on Wednesday that it dispatched two officials to Saudi Arabia to discuss boosting oil production, as tensions between Russia and Ukraine rise and threaten energy prices.
President Joe Biden warned on Tuesday that a war between Russia and Ukraine would likely “impact on our energy prices” and that the US was “taking active steps to alleviate the pressure on our own energy markets.”
On Wednesday, Brett McGurk, the Middle East coordinator on the National Security Council, and Amos Hochstein, the State Department’s energy envoy, met with Saudi officials in Riyadh to discuss oil supplies, CNN reported.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed some of the details, telling reporters: “I can confirm they’re on a trip. There are a range of range of topics to discuss, including Yemen. And, as you know … engaging with our partners around the world about ensuring supply meets demand is part of our objective from here as well.”
BIDEN, himself, sent energy prices soaring when he shut down the XL pipeline! Now he wants to blame everybody else, Typical democrat.
Biden sent them there to collect his Bribes & get his cut of the Money !!!!!
Biden should have already been IMPEACHED !!!! Open up that Fkkking XL Pipeline NOW !!!!!
He Intentionally Ruins America EVERY way Possible !!!
Maybe Biden should acknowledge that stopping work on the the Keystone and XP pipelines was a stupid move. Also, capping oil and gas wells and exploration for new sources on federal land was another idiotic decision.
Biden doesnt know what day it is.. He might have people over there but it is to produce more oil and raise the price per barrel
It doesn’t have to be like this.
He is one really stupid s.o.b. As are most liberals and democrats
Obama was right when he said “never underestimate joe’s ability to f—- things up”
