It was made clear at home that Biden's trip to the Middle East «was not about oil.» She clarified that with his visit, the American president wanted to confirm how «critical» the region is. According to New York Times interlocutors from among American officials and officials from the Persian Gulf countries, as well as experts familiar with the discussions, in preparation for Biden's visit administration officials met with the crown prince and his advisers and took away from these contacts the feeling of a deal that was expected to increase OPEC+ oil production by 400,000 bpd in July and August, and by 200,000 bpd from September to December, In early October, 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 in November, extending the deal until the end of 2023. US President Joe Biden, as well as a number of other prominent members of the Democratic Party, expressed disappointment at this, noting that Washington is considering various options for further action. The White House has issued an accusation that members of the OPEC+ group sided with Russia in making this decision. «Put the US a black eye»
