Top aides to President Joe Biden voiced their fury with Saudi Arabia over OPEC+ oil production cuts Tuesday, saying the administration was undertaking a sweeping reevaluation of its relationship and planned to engage with lawmakers clamoring to punish the kingdom.
They act mad, but are they really? Does the administration really care? There is a lot of profit for U.S. companies to make to keep the high prices.
Crude Oil Production barrels Per Day
1. U.S. 11,800,000
2. Saudi Arabia 11,051,000
3. Russia 10,298,000
4. Iraq 4,651,000
5. Canada 4,431,000
6. China 4,183,000
7. UAE 3,184,000
8. Brazil 2,829,000
9. Kuwait 2,811
10. Iran 2,572
If Biden was really mad, he would incentivize U.S. oil production and flood the market.
