Saudis say crude output hikes are within OPEC+ as Biden leaves region without oil deal

Saudi officials said on July 16 that the country’s oil production policies are implemented within the OPEC+ group, as US President Joe Biden ended his four-day trip to the Middle East without a pledge for higher crude supply to further temper oil prices. The Saudis have stated that they believe the demands of Joe Biden are “unrealistic” and globally will not fix the oil prices dilemma within the country.
