Under Biden US reaches Energy Independence!!!! thanks Biden

Nope. The Saudis liked Obama. They knew exactly what he was dealing with.
The U.S. is seeking a rapprochement with Iran over its nuclear program, potentially ending several decades of hostility. But while the U.S. is extending an open hand to Iran, other countries in the Middle East are casting a wary eye towards the negotiations.

In fact, it is starting to appear that Gulf Arab states could be a major impediment to a final agreement over Iran’s nuclear program. Led by Saudi Arabia, many of the oil-producing members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are skeptical of, if not downright hostile towards Iran. With little trust between Iran and its Arab neighbors, it will be hard to get all of the Middle East on board for an agreement. On this, GCC states find themselves in the same camp as Israel.

The Obama administration surely thought it could get countries like Saudi Arabia and Bahrain to get behind a nuclear deal, owing to the fact that they are close allies of the United States.Related: ISIS Still Hampering Iraqi Oil Industry Progress

But in a surprise move, Saudi Arabia’s King Salman decided not to attend a summit hosted by U.S. President Barack Obama in Camp David this week. As recently as May 8, Saudi Arabia confirmed that the King would attend the meeting, intended to assuage the security concerns of Gulf countries over the pending nuclear negotiations.

Ostensibly, the Saudi King is staying behind to monitor the security situation in Yemen, as the conflict enters a temporary cease-fire beginning on May 13. “There is zero tension,” a Saudi official reportedly said in an effort to downplay the significance of Saudi Arabia’s decision to blow off the Camp David event, according to the Washington Post. “In fact, the relationship is as strong as it has been in quite some time. Our understanding is that the Saudis and other GCC leaders are quite pleased with U.S. positions and the substance of Camp David, including any assistance we are going to provide.”

President Obama will host Saudi Arabia's King Salman at the White House this morning. They should have plenty to talk about. Obama is determined to forge detente with Iran; the Saudis -- long accustomed to being America's ally in the Gulf -- hate the Iran nuke deal.

 
They were walking a fine line. Not to go so low as to hurt US producers ( or Russia) .. but enough to hurt Iran.
You dont remember recent history?

After the Iran nuke deal, the Saudis flooded the market gas went cheap and the bubble burst on US fracking.

I have known Salman for years and he is very fragile. The Saudis have opposed nukes in the region for 60 years. They aren't stupid. Israel has been threatening Iran since 1994. Of course they want nukes. Meanwhile, after Israel financed the nukes in India the Saudis financed nukes for Pakistan so they will leave each other alone. Makes for a stand off.

If you ready what the Iranian Mullahs want you would walk away from any deal.

I suspect that the author of the piece in oil price doesn't know the Saudi leadership very well.
 
As he is not president when the prices skyrocket when Biden decreased production and exploration.
Biden didn't reduce production. The oil producers world wide reduced production because demand collapsed in 2020 during the covid lockdown.
 
Nah.... People were paying $1.70 a year ago and now they're paying $3.50... there are no amount of words that are synonyms for Independence that you could come up with an any list however long that will counter the sentiment created by that disparity.
Sorry but prices go up. Perhaps we’re trying to get people to stop driving so much.

Overall, in the long run, our way works best for all not best for the top 10%.
 
So now I have to tell you what pro pipeline pro, drilling, pro business president and what Anti pipeline, anti drilling , pro electric vehicles president means???

You applying labels doesn’t change the facts as I laid out. Production is up. Permits are up. All you have are labels. You are pretty clueless on how to debate. Try refuting the facts I laid out. If that doesn’t work then I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe just plug your ears and shout labels… oh… now your style makes sense.

Wrong...this is far worse than a price increase....it's a Petro dollar correction and it is far more damaging. It is also directly related to lousy currency policy.

Who are you trying to fool?

I provided many instances of the president influencing gas prices only in left la la land where a anti pipeline, anti drilling, pro climate president would produce cheap gas prices
