American press: Saudi prince threatened the United States economically in response to measures against the reduction of oil production

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud threatened the United States with "serious economic measures" because of the plans of the US government to take certain measures against Riyadh in response to the reduction in oil production.

According to The Washington Post, citing secret Pentagon documents leaked online, in response to Joe Biden's statement about "some consequences" in response to the Saudi-lobbied OPEC + decision to cut oil production amid rising energy prices, while the Saudi authorities publicly defended their actions through diplomacy, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia threatened the United States with significant economic damage if such measures were taken.



U.S. intelligence material regarding the prince's threats has been made public following a massive leak of classified material that was posted on the Discord platform. However, it is not specified whether the prince's threats were transmitted directly to the US authorities or whether they became known as a result of interception by US intelligence agencies using electronic wiretapping tools.

In October last year, oil-producing countries that are part of the OPEC + alliance agreed to cut production by two million barrels per day. The US authorities sharply criticized this decision. Washington pressed Riyadh to increase production to help the EU reduce Russian oil supplies amid a confrontation with Moscow.

      When the Yankees threaten all countries of the world with economic sanctions, this is normal and fits into the American idea that everything and everything revolves around the United States.
      And then some Saudi prince dared to refuse the US itself.
      This is rude and unacceptable and degrades the delicate state of mind of the American soul.
      The Yankees are vindictive and will not leave such an insult unanswered.

      The Saudis cannot show a finger because of their upbringing and faith. The World Cup in Qatar is a confirmation of this.

    Biden, they kneel only in the G7, what’s the news. Salman didn’t cut off Bidon’s head, he only drove the old man around the palace without escalators, biden and ladders are not compatible, and even more so escolators.

      I agree, Tralflot. Biden and the subway are incompatible things. I noticed that Prince Ben Salman is a strong fighter and should not show off in front of him. Need to be more careful. The man is not from the timid ten.

        You are right to think so. Very compatible too. According to the method of A. Karenina.

    Saudi Arabia's crown prince threatened the United States with significant economic damage if such measures were taken.
    Narulil Biden on the world stage that even former "allies" are losing patience and boldly threatening retaliatory actions. Things are not going as badly in a changing world as some people think.

      It wasn't Biden who did it, but the shadow government. Nothing depends on Biden, nothing depends on the word at all

    The Saudis have leverage to put pressure on the United States, for example, $ 111 billion in treasury bonds, now they have a negative yield, so it’s not easy to find a buyer other than the United States itself, and after looking at the sanctions packages against different countries, few people want to step on a rake
