Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz assured U.S. President Joe Biden on the production increase when they met on July 16, the reporter said in a tweet.
The White House has said it anticipates major oil producers in the OPEC+ alliance will increase crude production following President Joe Biden’s trip to the Middle East last month.
