MOSCOW, Oct 16US President Joe Biden could seriously damage relations with Saudi Arabia if he decides to punish her for a joint decision with Russia to reduce oil production under OPEC +, writes Financial Times columnist Andrew England. As noted in the article, the American leader is now trying to assess how harsh there should be Washington's response to the change in the foreign policy of Riyadh. In this regard, the voices of Democrats are growing louder, demanding a ban on the supply of key weapons to the Middle East kingdom and a decrease in the level of security cooperation.October 7, 18:37 US demanded that Biden «hit» Riyadh for tilting towards Moscow» If Biden, who warned on Tuesday that Saudi Arabia would face the consequences, <…> decides to go this route, there will be limited room for maneuver,» experts say. According to experts interviewed by the newspaper, the United States cannot afford to abruptly stop cooperation with the kingdom in the military industry. Riyadh plays a key role for Washington in maintaining the balance of power in the Middle East and as a counterweight to Iran, the publication says. Earlier, the countries participating in the OPEC + deal, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, decided to reduce oil production by two million barrels per day starting from November, extending the deal until the end of 2023. This caused dissatisfaction with the American administration, which demanded an increase in energy production. The Saudi Foreign Ministry, in turn, said that the cartel's decision was dictated solely by economic considerations and was accepted by all countries participating in the deal, while the agency denied the United States' accusations against Riyadh.
