On Tuesday, The Associated Press<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) \u2014 Saudi Arabia<\/a><\/span> and Russia agreed Tuesday to extend their voluntary oil production cuts through the end of this year, trimming 1.3 million barrels of crude out of the global market and boosting energy prices.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The dual announcements from Riyadh and Moscow pushed benchmark Brent crude above $90 a barrel in trading Tuesday afternoon, a price unseen in the market since November.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The countries\u2019 moves could increase inflation and the cost for motorists at gasoline pumps. It also puts new pressure on Saudi Arabia\u2019s relationship with the United States, as President Joe Biden last year warned the kingdom there would be unspecified \u201cconsequences\u201d for partnering with Russia on cuts as Moscow wages war on Ukraine<\/a><\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because of the Biden administration’s energy policies, we are not in a position to make any threats to any oil-producing country! Like it or not, fossil fuel is one of the major foundations of our economy. Fossil fuel powers the trucks that move products, the factories that produce products (those factories the Biden administration tax policies have not driven out of the country), and provides Americans with comfort and mobility. Under President Trump we were energy independent and inflation was under control. Until we go back to the policies that worked for the American people, our standard of living will continue to decline and inflation will continue to rise.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

In recent months, tensions eased slightly as Biden\u2019s administration sought a deal with Riyadh for it to diplomatically recognize Israel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But those talks include Saudi Arabia pushing for a nuclear cooperation deal that includes America allowing it to enrich uranium in the kingdom \u2014 something that worries nonproliferation experts, as spinning centrifuges open the door to a possible weapons program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prince Mohammed already has said the kingdom would pursue an atomic bomb if Iran had one, potentially creating a nuclear arms race in the region as Tehran\u2019s program continues to advance closer to weapons-grade levels. Saudi Arabia and Iran reached a d\u00e9tente in recent months, though the region remains tense amid the wider tensions between Iran and the U.S.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Higher oil prices would also help Russian President Vladimir Putin fund his war on Ukraine. Western countries have used a price cap to try to cut into Moscow\u2019s revenues. But those sanctions have seen Moscow be forced to sell its oil at a discount<\/a><\/span> to countries like China and India.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
