Saudi officials insist that the kingdom must put its own economic interests ahead of domestic US political considerations. Still, US politicians are framing Saudi Arabia's move as a hostile act that benefits Russia as it wages war on Ukraine.

Editor’s Note: A version of this story first appeared in CNN’s Meanwhile in the Middle East newsletter, a three-times-a-week look inside the region’s biggest stories. Sign up here. Saudi Arabia’s energy minister once famously said that the kingdom “derives pleasure from keeping everyone on their toes.

“What Saudi Arabia did to help Putin continue to wage his despicable, vicious war against Ukraine will long be remembered by Americans,” tweeted Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, on Friday. The Biden administration was swift in its reaction. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre put out a statement on Wednesday saying that it “is clear OPEC+ is aligning with Russia.

Yeah Saudi Arabia is involved in encouraging the damn Russia. US is doing well not to trust them totally unacceptable Russia and their companions ✊

Maybe one Saudi will remember when Saddam was in Kuwait .Saudi Arabia needed the US their memory is short as well as their gratitude

Why does America raise gas prices on Europe fourfold and contribute to the suffering of European peoples?

And we must put our own interests above those of Saudi Arabia. Makes sense to me. We must go energy self sufficient and cut these primitives loose.

SA’s only concern is money. And they’ll do anything to preserve their wealth and iron grip on an energy-hungry world.

The simple answer is: because Saudi is just another unreliable political partner.

F J B

I remember when the US used to PUNISH nations that support terrorist and aid our enemies. Wish we'd go back to that.

Only selfish, evil & wicked imperialists like those in Washington DC could view & describe Saudi Arabia's pursuit of own national interests through deliberate oil supply side market manipulation as defiance to a distant 3rd part nation's whims somewhre across the Atlantic ocean.

U.S officials are contemplating cutting ties with Saudi Arabia. They have always been treated as an ally but have never reciprocated and we have nothing to gain from them. They do not represent the morals and human rights the U.S. does. They are in bed with Trump and his family.

As if the 'ragheads' don't have enough money.

Well the Saudis did negotiate the release of foreign born POW's captured by the Russians in Ukraine How much was that transaction worth

Well every country has its own interest, so etc....

No more spare parts or other military equipment for them then!

US should know that they are not above all other countries!

So is the “Saudi First” political movement racist or is it still just the “America First” one..? I can’t keep up with your ethical goalposts anymore

The U.S government should extract the oil from federal land not private companies and flood the market while also transitioning us away from fossil fuels

they told joe the pedo rican ... go fist himself

Don't blame OPEC for Biden's premature energy plan. We were energy independent prior to his taking office. He immediately took action to immediately cutoff or independence instead of a phased in approach. Luckily people evacuating Florida form IAN didn't depend on EV's

A list of other countries flush w/ oil ! S. Sudan, Iraq, Nigeria, Guyana, Azerbaijan, Kurdistan, Namibia, Venezuela, Kazakhstan, Canada, Algeria... 🛢

Two things, one, take out Putin. The Russian population will love you long time. Two, take back oil fields. You gotta crack some eggs here.

We should put our interests first also, start producing locally.

Typical, i wonder where this sense of entitlement come from, of course every country have to look for themself 1st, but nooo~, the country of entitled brats have to have it's way.

Dump them, let Russia protect them

. 🇺🇸you'll have to pay for it 🛢💵💵 and we need to enjoy it🛢🎶🕺🏻🇸🇦💰

They don't like Biden. They love Trump and they don't give a f*ck about Putin. Please get your facts straight.

US dems are just upset that it makes them look bad for November, they don’t care about you or your family, just their own agenda.

Framing the Saudis as 'hostile'. Took you long enough!

2 million is extreme. Charging more for us grade is also extreme. It was an act of hostility. Consider it as such - slow walk cooperation

Saudi’s know exactly what they’re doing- forcing more concessions from us, or at least trying. We should never forget Khashoggi murder by MBS, 911 and this- empowering the worst tyrant since Hitler- PutinWarCriminal - and his scorched earth policy in SlavaUkraini

Biden crested this. He made them hate USA and align with Russia & China. Nice job Brandon.

CNN is gone!

Pull the troops. Let them fend for themselves. Hope for Russia to come to help them. 😀😀😀

I mean Saudis are for themselves and that’s it, not Russia or anything, but themselves

Certainly yea! Every government should do the same... For its people.

What?! Leaders putting their own countrymen’s best interest ahead of foreigners? Wild

It is for russia's benefit. So for the US, interests remove US troops and missile systems for there and UAE. Cancel the weapons orders as well, one must look out for the US self interests too. They can always buy russian weapon systems.

Saudi Oil/Gas Minister interview w/CNBC today said that Biden released so much SOR supplies it made an artificial Gas price for 6+mo. for the World (Biden will release till after election). SA is not an asset to Russia. Iran is asset for Russia.

Biden ran on eliminating fossil fuels so OPEC is helping him achieve that goal

Oh, is it really in Saudi's interest to anger the USA? Ok, then we need to do stuff that makes it a lot less in their interest.

We are not really used to other countries not bending over for us and looking out for their own interest instead, huh?

No one f**** with a Biden

That keystone pipeline with our ally and counterpart Canada is the answer. Instead of depending on unstable middle east markets and know enemies.

Time to drop some Iranians off in the kingdom. Little razzle dazzle for em.

Time to cut ties with the Saudi's.

AMERICA FIRST UNDER TRUMP

They’re doing this because democrats can’t be trusted.

American barbarism has reached the stage of hostility to its allies

They are entitled to make decisions in favour of their country and its citizens.

Guess they F with a Biden very successfully.

If only the United States would put its own economic interests before foreign shit like Ukraine, or natural disasters in bum fuck.

Americans who matter know it was a hostile act. We’ll wait until you need water. It’s coming.

If the United States would just do the same… but we’d rather harm ourselves than save ourselves

Biden screwed up again

Because they simply don’t believe in Democracy or share the view of the United States of the world. And also It is less risky for them to stand against USA instead of being against Russia. Vladimir Putin is capable of more harm than Joe Biden. I believe most of you know.

Sovereign decisions.

Why did the US give money to Ukraine? Now Russia and Saudi hold oil, so the next step is to attack Saudi and Russia?

Hold them accountable for 9/11 finally. Time to make them pay through the nose.

JustinTrudeau You support terrorists.

What is US going to do? Push KSA further away and give more Space to Russia and China in that region!

It benefits the US because it will shut down any talk of the extremist liberals keeping congress.

The Saudis are not friends of the USA.

Saudi arabia buys russian oil.if this is not political, what is it? Perhaps Usa should flood yemen with weapons?

OVERTHROW the house of Saud and bring MBS to justice

PULL OUR TROOPS! Anything less than that makes us look weak

They've never given a shit about anything other than themselves and their own financial/ideological interests. This is nothing new. Next.

In 70 years, Saudi Arabia will have no more fossil fuels.
