OPEC+ gives Biden the finger

In a further humiliation for the administration, this move comes after a “full-court press” from the administration against OPEC+ countries, warning them not to cut production …

All that pressure didn’t do a darn bit of good, it seems. This is a double loss for the administration and the country as a whole. First, oil prices worldwide are likely to increase, and with them prices at the pump, hurting U.S. consumers and exacerbating inflationary pressures. Second, once again, the self-congratulatory “America is back!”/“the adults are back in charge” rhetoric is failing to match up with the actual results.

Finally, could Biden’s trip to Saudi Arabia have been any more of a disaster?
