President Joe Biden said the U.S. "will take action" on arms sales to Saudi Arabia after oil production cut.
RELATED: Biden considering 'alternatives' after OPEC oil production cuts
Biden is consulting with Congress on whether to take action against Saudi Arabia. The administration argues the Saudi Arabia-led oil cartel’s cut in production will help drive up the cost of gas, boosting Russia’s oil revenue just as the United States and its allies are trying to reduce Russia’s oil profits. Rising pump prices could also hurt Democrats in next month’s midterm elections.
Lawmakers have proposed blocking any future arms sales to the Saudis as well as allowing the Justice Department to use antitrust laws to challenge the OPEC+ countries and their state-owned oil companies. While the security strategy doesn't mention Saudi Arabia specifically, in the section on the Middle East, the administration encourages "energy producers to use their resources to stabilize global energy markets, while also preparing for a clean energy future and protecting American consumers."

What action are you really going to take when we’re dependent on Saudi oil🤦🏾♀️ go ahead Joe make America great again with $10 a gallon gas why don’t you.
Ok yes let’s let oil cuts be the reason to take action on arms sales.
I seem to recall that to be the case during the OPEC Oil embargo
Weird how if we would just have did our best to be independent of anyone or anything…. We wouldn’t threaten others for our stupidity…..
Again to you we have protected the saudi,s for 50 plus years there are alot of countries over the that would jump in a heart beat if we stop protecting them, theybwould go fast and hard they need us as
much if not more then we need them.
His bowels are about to “take action” once the economy tanks even further…
Get back to work then🤷♂️
Good one!
What exactly does he think he’s going to do about it 🤔
No telling what he thinks.
Does he think 🧐
@Domelupita 🤔🤔🤔🤔
This is an embarrassment, RICH MEN MAKE QUARRELS AND ITS THE CITIZENS WHO GET TO DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES, DISGRACEFUL
Take action on our own homeless, poverty and illegal immigration problems instead of sending money to Ukraine that we need here.
The Dollar buying power around the World has to do with “Petrol Dollar” Saudi was the reason why US Dollar became the Currency of Oil. As A result, countries around the World are buying Dollar in order to buy Oil. This increase demand for US dollar, which help the buying power. Sanction Saudi, and other OPEC countries could backfired in negative way for US Dollar. As I said, imagine OPEC choose to use Yuan as a currency of Oil. US dollar could crash big time. Lets hope it doesnt happen.
Exactly!! You understand it.
I hope you don’t have to use Chinese yuan to buy instead of US dollars
Wonder who’s actually running the country.
2 words, made in America 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Perfect!😂
‘I can beat Joe Biden’ said Joe Biden.
Thats three words tho
@S S “2 words, made in America” is an actual quote from Biden 😔😔😔😔😔
Same way he vowed to disrupt Nordstream? Interesting…
He’s a man of his word I guess. Maybe we should be concerned about the Nuke talk?
He can’t even take action In America..😂😂😂
We all saw how weak Biden is last year when Joey was being openly laughed at.
Trump can’t lift a glass without using both hands.
Fjb
As Biden is headed for yet another 6-day weekend. FJB!!!!
I’m sure the Saudis have just two words for Potato Joe. And As soon as they stop laughing, they will let us know what those words are.
They want Jarad
I am from Saudi Arabia and I can assure you that no one is interested what prandon say
This guy is determined to get us into a war
Damn right!
Cuts US oil production then gets mad at Saudi for cutting production. Makes sense
I was beginning to wonder if I would be alive to witness the start of another world war. Glad I can see it unfold 😊
I thought I was the only one 😜
Never underestimate Joe’s ability to F things up. -President Obama
Why is there so much turmoil in the world and so much suffering here in the US under his administration?
